Dendritic opal ring

Dendritic opal is formed when groundwater picks up silica, flows into underground cracks, and then hardens into solid stone. The groundwater also carries tiny black particles of iron or manganese, and the resulting effect looks like tiny branches or bolts of lightning. 

Each of these rings holds a totally unique stone with its own pattern of dendrites over a milky white background. The surface is faceted and sparkly. 

The stone is set on a double half-round band. 

Stone size: 11-14mm tall

Materials

This ring is made entirely of sterling silver. Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which is added to make the metal more durable. There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
