Notes

Andamooka matrix opal is a naturally porous stone that has been treated using a well-known carbon process to enhance its play-of-colour. This is a widely accepted and traditional treatment for Andamooka matrix opal and does not affect its durability or beauty. Ethically sourced from Andamooka, South Australia.

Beads are supplied on a temporary string and will need to be professionally restrung and knotted with a clasp added by your jeweller.
