It is a totem animal hand crafted in gemstones that is really quite remarkable. There is a striking contrast of blue turquoise along with sky blue opal then contrasted with blood red carnelian set-in jet-black onyx with a flower accent in some kind of shell or pearl. The setting is sterling silver 925 and has a nice weight (not hollow but old school very well made) 14.4 grams and approximately 12 carats of gemstones. It is so thoughtfully made that even the bail has gemstones covering all the way around to the back. Set in sterling silver 925 and in excellent condition with not cracks or flaws of any kind. Well-loved and well taken care of, the only real sign of its age is the patina on the silver that we could buff out if you want us to. We left the cool patina out of respect but that would be your choice to make. 2″ long by 1.3/4″ wide, this is a One-of-a-Kind piece that we know you’ll love. We’ll send it in a gift box along with care instructions for the gemstones.

Virgin Valley opal Nevada is famous for its beautiful, colorful opal. The state contains some very rich precious opal beds and has produced some spectacular and extremely valuable specimens. The Virgin Valley opal beds in northwest Humboldt County are perhaps the most famous gemstone locality in Nevada. High quality precious opal emitting a multihued rainbow of color is found replacing wood or other plant material in this remote location. The Virgin Valley Opal field is in an isolated desert area south of Highway 140 about 25 miles southwest of Denio. Precious opal was first discovered here in 1905 and a number of claims were located at that time. Exploration of these deposits has been continued intermittently by various parties since that time. The opal field lies within an area approximately 5 miles wide and 10 miles long in certain beds outcropping along the walls and slopes of Virgin Creek Valley. Geology of The Virgin Valley The Virgin Valley opal district is located in Humboldt County, Nevada, approximately 40 miles northeast of Winnemucca. The geology of the district is characterized by a series of tuffaceous sedimentary rocks of Miocene age, known as the Virgin Valley Formation. These rocks were deposited in a lake environment, and are interbedded with layers of diatomite and volcanic ash. The opal in the Virgin Valley district occurs as replacements of diatomite and volcanic ash layers. It is thought to have formed during the late Pliocene epoch, when silica-rich fluids circulated through the rocks. The uranium in the opal is thought to have been derived from nearby volcanic rocks Many opal experts consider the Virgin Valley material to be some of the best, brightest and most beautiful opal yet discovered. The Virgin Valley deposits produce a wide variety material from intensely colored crystal opal to some of the world’s finest black opal. Brilliant flashes of red, blue, yellow, green and all the rest of the rainbow emanate from these spectacular gems.

AUTHENTIC Zuni Native American Indian ROSE CALAVAZA Flowers Necklace. Hallmarked by artist: R CALAVAZA, ZUNI NM = Rose Calavaza Zuni Indian in New Mexico. Please see photos for hallmark. Must see in person to appreciate all the painstaking handwork. Circa: Unknown but fortunately still in great condition. This is a vintage pre-owned item so the sterling silver is tarnishing. These “opals” sparkle and glisten and are quite beautiful in person. My camera could not show you the “sparkling opals” very well. The color of the flowers is a pale “soft” glistening bluish color and they look JUST LIKE GENUINE OPALS. Also features: genuine natural RED CORAL (centers of flowers). The flowers “sit” on genuine natural creamy white mother-of-pearl seashells. There are also “greenish” color seashells for the leaves and flower stems I believe to be abalone seashell. Size: 22 1/2 in length (around the neck). The lower pendant is 2 1/2 (including the silver dangles). Please study all the photos. I was absolutely thrilled when I found this very rare and beautiful Native American Indian treasure and I know you will love it too. I will pack it EXTREMELY CAREFUL to avoid damage. You will love this charming fella!!! MB – in the bolo box.
