Melt 1 Series #3 | Opal

Round freeform Mexican opal in a sand casted silver base. From the entirety of the opal, colours can be seen moving and dancing in the light. Open back allows the light through, reflections even from the back. 

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.
