Blue Opal is a type of Common Opal that is high in silica and is generally opaque and does not show the “fire” like that of Precious Opals.  Blue Opals have a pleasant light baby boy blue color with some whiten blue portions. 

Blue Opal can be found in Australia, Mexico, Peru, Canada, China and Oregon.

Hardness 5.5-6 

With side drilling, the hole is not visible on the front of the stone and the pendant can easily be hung on any beading wire. 

In most cases, Side Drilled is a little thicker than other pendants. 

 This is a natural stone that has had no treatment other than cutting, drilling, and polishing.
