Weathered Opal | Ring

A heavily textured and stamped band for a clear opal. The heavyweight band of the ring has intentional textures, but around the opal itself is simple sterling silver. Open backing allows you to see the colours flashing from within.   

This Opal is from Magdalena Mexico. The opals here have been mined by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, but after the Spanish conquistadors came to Mexico, the location of the mines was lost until the 1800’s. The mines here are majority local run, and are all polished by independent polishers in the area. Wanderground buys stones directly from polishers, going door to door in communities asking to buy Opal.
