European Green Opal
Republic of Kosovo
Discovered in 1995, this attractive opal is also known by the moniker "Macedonian green opal" since it originates in The Republic of Kosovo near the Macedonian border. It is highly regarded by metaphyics for stimulating the heart Chakra and providing a burst of energy while assisting in overcoming fear, dread and the scars of old emotional wounds. It is a tool for building and sustaining self-confidence and creativity.
Pastel celadon green, beautifully translucent, with an even saturation of color across the surface of this well polished pear-shape cabochon: this is a fine stone for the collector of opals from uncommon localities.
Weighing approximately 66.0 carats and measuring 43.5 x 26.0 x 12.0mm
