Make a staple addition to your collection with this delightful Salamanca fire opal necklace. Sourced from the Salamanca Municipality, Mexico, Salamanca fire opal displays the finest shade, ranging from light to medium orangey-yellow to a yellowish-orange. Used by the people of Aztec and Maya civilization, this gemstone was known as 'the stone of the bird of paradise.' The y-shape neckpiece is fashioned in platinum over sterling silver with perfect milgrain detailing on edges. The 18-20-inch jewel will add a high amount of sparkle and texture to your neckline. To be on the safe side, clean your opals using a mesh rag dipped in mild detergent added to warm water. Never soak or immerse your opal jewelry. Natural properties of mined gemstones offer a slight difference in color saturation, hue, and tone. Gemstone images may not always capture these slight differences.
