Cantera Opal is a gemstone formed from Rhyolite, which is a kind of igneous rock. When magma cooled on the earth surface, traces of gas and steam escaped from the stone, leaving cavities. Eventually, opal would form within these volcanic rock cavities, creating what we know as Cantera Opal.
Each item has been tested by a jeweler to determine its metal content and by a gemologist to identify the stones.Stone carat weight is approximate and may vary.(We do not remove the stones from the frame to weigh them). Antique and vintage jewelry is often not perfect and may show normal signs of surface wear due to age or minor imperfections due to the fact that it was handmade rather than mass-produced.This is what makes each product unique!
