From a new discovery in 2007, the Opal Cat's-eyes have so much character, they are almost hard to describe! Alternating bands of mint green, black, white and honey colored yellow are a background for a sharp and distinct cat's-eye. Our Opals are a natural gemstone that have not been treated in any manner. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, chemicals and heat. Opal is the birthstone for October.
