WTB Peruvian Opal

[Mrs_Strizzle]

Hi all! I am on the hunt for a beautiful Peruvian Opal to have set in a ring, or even one already set. I would love for it to be similar to @icy_jade opal ring (which is the image provided). I am a size girl, so would like the stone to be a minimum of 4 cts. If anyone has one they are willing to let go of, or know a good source I would appreciate it! Thanks

I can't tell you how and where to buy, but I can show you what a good Peruvian blue opal looks like。 A good quality Peruvian blue opal is sky blue with no green tinge and high transparency. Comparison of high quality Peruvian blue opal and normal quality Peruvian blue opal

Yes, that's exactly what I want. Almost Paraiba! Thank you for your insight!

Well I love a good gem hunting assignment! Which led me down a rabbit hole. I'm having trouble finding a stunning opal but did find some juicy Paraiba cabs!
I don't know your budget but this is my fave. It's a cats eye paraiba with a beautiful shimmer effect. ( There's a video in the listing). This is about 10.9 x 7.5.

How cool is this? This lovely soft blue Paraiba (copper-bearing) tourmaline shows a soft inner shimmer or glow (like a moonstone) under diffuse lighting, but under a strong single source of light (like the sun), it displays a waving wand of light called a cats-eye. I was photographing on a cloudy

Those are really beautiful! I haven't really thought of an actual Paraiba, as I thought they would be way out of my reach. I was thinking opal partially for my October babies, but this certainly is something to consider and think about. Thanks so much for researching!

You could always use opal sides... paraiba with color flashing opal sides? Yummy
Like the opposite of this design:


I also spotted this emerald cut opal cab, but didn't know if you'd like it

Tourmaline is another October birthstone!
