Andamooka Matrix is a special type of Opal from Andamooka in far north South Australia.
The natural Andamooka Matrix host rock hides its Opal secrets in its pale, often white, natural state. But once the rock is cooked and treated it turns black and frees the vibrant, sparkling Opal to shine in its own right.
The Andamooka Matrix host is more easily chipped or damaged, so the treated piece has a been given protective resin coating.
A final polish and this stunning, colourful Opal is ready to set.
We have set this solid, 13.45ct stone in a sterling silver, claw pendant.
*Necklace not included.
Important Note: As a level of treatment has occurred, these pieces are often less expensive than their untreated relatives. But they are still just as stunningly beautiful.
