46ST430-BG: Merlinite FC Drop 8-10x10-26 4" is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Merlinite — the trade name for grey boulder opal — comes here as a graduated freeform drop strand, ranging from 8-10mm up to 10-26mm across a 4-inch length. The natural variation in both shape and size gives each strand a one-of-a-kind silhouette that cut-and-polished stones simply can't replicate.
Grey boulder opal carries its color in smoky, earthy tones with the organic patterning the stone forms naturally — expect cloudy greys, dark veining, and the occasional flash that makes opal what it is.
The graduated drop format is built for focal necklaces and pendants where the largest stone anchors the center and the pieces taper naturally toward the clasp. These also work well as earring drops or as a mixed-media centerpiece in wire-wrapped statement pieces.
