It says sterling on the bale(hope that is the right word for it). That makes it north American, right? Do you think the pendant is opal? When I look at it through magnification I see small cracks but no bubbles. I also tried to capture the flashing. It is tiny. Sorry about the double photos. I don’t quite know what happened there. Thanks!

    Looks like it could be Andamooka opal.

    I would go for opal-coloured/iridescent glass

    It looks like opal to me, but doublets or, more likely, triplets.

    Doublets and triplets have a black/dark backing (onyx, ironstone,...) the "stones" in the pendant are clear, slightly blueish-iridescent on the back.

    Solid opals, they have that transparent pastel look you often get on Ethiopian opals, although it is also found in other opal regions.
    A bit too transparent for those pronounced, vibrant Andamooka opals imo.
