An offer like this will not last long! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Lucy Shekya, out of genuine sterling silver and man made Opal inlay.

Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is a semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is the birthstone for October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
