Pink Peruvian Opal in a classic 8mm round — this semi-precious gemstone brings a soft, milky pink tone that's genuinely hard to source in consistent quality. It's a go-to for makers who want natural stone with a calm, understated presence.

The stone has the characteristic matte-soft, opaque blush of Peruvian opal — not glassy or shiny, but quietly luminous with natural variation from bead to bead.

What to make with them

String these into delicate single-strand necklaces or layered bracelet stacks where the 8mm size reads as substantial without being heavy; they also work beautifully as spacers between larger focal stones in rosary-style or knotted designs.

Description

Opal is similar in composition to quartz, but has a water content up to 20%, usually falling within the 6 to 10% range. This water content means opal is vulnerable to drying out, thus killing the stone by cracking or loss of luster. You should wear your opal often to protect it from drying out, they should also be protected from chemicals and sunlight for the same reason. There are three naturally occurring varieties of opal: Precious opal- displays a rainbow of opalescent color play. Fire opal- can be orange, red, or yellow, transparent or opaque. Common opal- is generally opaque, in a variety of hues and fashions including pink, white, blue and dendritic/dendrite opal.
