Yellow Opal is a birthstone for those born in October.
Opal is the product of seasonal rains that drenched dry ground in regions such as Australia’s semi-desert “outback.” The showers soaked deep into ancient underground rock, carrying dissolved silica (a compound of silicon and oxygen) downward. During dry periods, much of the water evaporated, leaving solid deposits of silica in the cracks and between the layers of underground sedimentary rock. The silica deposits formed opal.
The most important deposits are located in Australia. Other deposits are found in Brazil, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Russia and the United States (Idaho and Nevada). These particular Yellow Opals were mined in Australia.
This bracelet also features 24K gold vermeil beads that have been handcrafted by artisans of the Karen Hill Tribe of northern Thailand. These skilled artisans use traditional methods of metalsmithing that have been handed down from generation-to-generation and are world-renowned for their fine quality beads and jewelry.
