DESCRIPTION:
You will absolutely fall in love with this stunning pendant! This piece of Native American jewelry was Navajo hand crafted by artist Samuel Yellowhair, out of genuine sterling silver and a man made Blue Opal. The stone is gently set in a hand cut bezel setting, while being accented by marvelously cut silver. Twisted silver and mini silver beads finish the pendant off for a wonderful look. The pendant is stamped sterling and hallmarked.
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 birthstone of October. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens psychic and mystical qualities.
