DESCRIPTION:
There is nothing at all average about this beautiful ring! This piece of Native American jewelry is Zuni hand crafted by artist Juanita Tucson, out of genuine sterling silver and man made Yellow Opal inlay. The inlay is carefully set, while being accented by thin silver lines for a fascinating finish.
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.
