Gemstone Tumbled Boulder Opal Matrix Pendant – with Fabric Cord
An extraordinary Boulder Opal Matrix pendant with characteristic, natural grain and subtle opal inclusions.
The matrix is the iron-containing surrounding rock of the boulder opal (mostly limonite or sandstone), which gets its unmistakable appearance through finely distributed opal veins or shimmering areas.
Carefully cut and polished, this pendant shows the natural structure, depth, and color variety of the rock – each piece is a hand-picked unique piece of nature.
With a size of approx. 27 × 22 mm (L × W), the pendant is discreet and comfortable to wear.
The drilled hole of approx. 2.5 mm is ideal for leather cords, omega necklaces, or fine silver chains.
The included black fabric cord (approx. 80 cm) is soft, pliable, and offers comfortable wear.
You will receive the Boulder Opal Matrix pendant shown – a naturally beautiful piece of jewelry with interesting grain and subtle elegance.
