Vial of Courage Pendant

Vial of Courage: Coober Pedy Opal Doublet Mini Pendant in Sterling Silver

A small, compact deep cobalt-blue Coober Pedy opal doublet, set in a mini sterling silver potion bottle pendant.

The best courage usually comes in the smallest doses. 

This is the most compact piece in the collection, a small, deliberate flash of deep cobalt blue rather than a showpiece. What it lacks in size it makes up for in saturation with this stone reading dark and rich even at a glance.

Caring for your piece

Opal doublets are more delicate than solid stone so avoid knocks, keep away from perfume, chlorine and prolonged sun. Store separately from harder gems to prevent scratching and only polish the silver gently with a soft cloth; (skip any chemical dips).

A few questions people ask

Is the opal genuine? Yes! It's a doublet (a thin layer of natural opal bonded to a dark backing to bring out the colour), so it's real opal, not synthetic.

Will the silver tarnish? It can over time with air and exposure to oils and water, a quick polish with a silver cloth brings the shine straight back.

Is it one of a kind? The stone's exact colour and flash pattern is unique to this piece.
