Opals Are the Easter Eggs Of Gemstones

Post by PinkDiamond »

Here's an opal feast for the eyes with a whole slew of pieces for you to enjoy. This is photo-heavy so I'll just give you the lead pic and my favorite from the lineup. Use the link to enjoy the rest of these lovelies, although I will say there are two in this one that I'm not fond of at all, such as the Mexican opal in matrix, and although I love the opal in the chunky cuff bracelet, I don't care for the bracelet at all, but the rest of the pieces are all very nice. Opalholics, enjoy! :)
