Collection: OPALINA

Opalina gemstones are rare when compared to many semi-precious stones, sourced almost entirely from Peru, making the Peruvian Opalina Cabochon highly regarded. The milky translucence with hinting tones of green or blue causes these stones to never appear the same, making them distinctive. Collectors of Opalina gemstones appreciate it not just for its appearance but also for the mineralization that produces it and how it reflects natural light. 

Historically, opalina gemstones have been associated with harmony and have often been carried for emotional support and as forms of gentle strength.
