Pink Peruvian Opal rounds in 6mm — a semi-precious gemstone bead with the soft, milky pink tone that opal collectors actively seek out. These are genuine pink opal, not dyed glass, which means the color is part of the stone itself.
The surface carries the naturally muted, pastel blush characteristic of Peruvian opal — opaque to slightly translucent with a gentle, waxy glow rather than a flashy shine.

What to make with them
String them into single-strand bracelets or layered necklaces where the soft color does the work without competing with other elements; they're also a strong choice for rosary-style or knotted gemstone pieces where each bead gets its own moment.
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.
