Typically a sky blue, the stone is opaque and sometimes has white banding. This strand of faceted beads was selected for the generous size of the rondelles, as well as their beautiful color and faceting. Natural gemstones are beautiful and often exhibit inclusions which help to identify that the stone is genuine. You will notice some interesting inclusions that appear as black swirls Black inclusions in \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003eOwyhee opal\u003c\/span\u003e are typically \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003ecarbon\u003c\/span\u003e or remnants of the \u003cspan class=\"Yjhzub\"\u003ehost rock matrix\u003c\/span\u003e (like basalt) that became trapped as the opal formed. These dark specks, veins, or squiggles are completely natural and serve as proof that the stone is genuine. The inclusions are internal characteristics, not external fractures in the stone. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBead Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5mm-8mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClosure\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14k solid gold spring ring clasp\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5.5-6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBlue\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAvoid prolonged exposure to heat (or extreme heat), direct sunlight and contact with water, abrasive surfaces or chemicals.
