Moss opalite 3 cab set ~
Offered here is a trio of moss opalite cabochons, from Australia, also known as dendritic opalite. This unusual form of opal features intricate displays of black spidery dendrites which stand out wonderfully against a background of bright lemony yellow. These are all the more desireable because of the large open areas of intense color; too much moss is overwhelming, which makes for a muddy appearance. I've set yellow opalites like these in both gold and silver with beautiful results, but I think the contrast of a silver mounting would show it off best. Of course, that's for you to decide! Each of the three stones has a high rounded dome of 6mm, a versatile teardrop shape, and a slick glassy polish both front and back.
