<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 311777, member: 5833"]The way the colors are limited, as you noted, & the way the material looks the same front & back makes me think this is a man made 'stone' meant to resemble opal but not actually opal in any way. It may be similar in technique to 'goldstone', which is copper flakes suspended in clear glass. These may be silver colored flakes in blue glass. Expect it is very eye-catching. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
