how much would a opal-gold necklace passed down from 4 generations be worth? its is 14k gold with an opal in the center and is about 5 or 6cm

Take it to a jeweler or consignment shop to let them see it. It will work best if you tell them that you need an approximate value and are thinking about getting it ensured. I love opals, you may get the best price from someone born in October(me) (2nd of two birthstones) and keep in mind that opals have recently risen in value.Do you have a photo? Sounds gorgeous!

My aunt is getting my sister a necklace and she doesn’t know what her birthstone is.

Both are October’s birthstone. I’m an October baby and I definitely prefer opal when it comes to receiving jewelry, it’s much prettier. In my opinion, the prettiest of all birthstones =]

Lost Sea Opals is a company with opal in its veins. Our experience stretches back over thirty years to a time when Lightning Ridge was a frontier town on the edge of the Australian outback. http://www.lostseaopals.com.au Produced by www.authenticholidayfilms.com

Just showing the play-of-color of these opals. All (except #6) are raw or semi-raw, and generally not “normal” loose opals destined for jewelry. I find these prettier than the opals you find at jewelry stores, and make them into pendants anyhow.

1. Boulder chip, raw
2. Boulder matrix
3. Boulder matrix (mainly blue/green)
4. Boulder chip, raw
5. Crystal? (semi-matte, light blue fire)
6. White/milk opal
7. Black opal, raw
8. Black opal, semi-raw (uber-matte)
9. Black opal, raw
