Intense turquoise-blue side polished piece from Chilean Atacama Opal!
Size of the One side polished piece approx. 7 x 5cm, height approx. 2cm Weight approx. 80g.
The Atacama opal is polished on one side and rough on the other. On the polished side, the individual pattern of each stone is perfectly accentuated.
Localities of the raw material: Copiapó/Paipote in the Región de Atacama (northern Chile); the raw material was processed in our grinding shop in Haifeng.
Strictly speaking, the name Atacama Opal is incorrect, as investigations by the University of Würzburg and the Institute for Gemstone Testing have shown that the material is not an opal; this would require significantly more silicon (Si) in the samples examined. But sometimes the gemstone market is faster than science and a name is established.
Due to its intense color caused by Copper, Atacama Opal immediately became known in the trade after the first rough stones appeared. The stone is also referred to as opal at its localities near the Atacama Desert, which gives it its name, although mineralogically and gemologically it is an Opalite-Chrysocoll-Chalcedony mixture
Atacama Opal strengthens our joy in contact with our fellow human beings. Fear of contact is reduced so that we can enjoy socializing. We are happy to contribute to the community with our abilities and assets.
