Every piece is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, documenting its provenance and recorded below for Sterling Silver Gaspeite & Opal Ring #343.
Discover this exceptional Ring, meticulously crafted in Sterling Silver. This remarkable piece showcases Gaspeite and Opal. The Gaspeite featured in this piece carries a rich heritage — Originally discovered in the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec, Canada, this apple-green stone is now primarily mined in Western Australia. Its bright, fresh color has made it popular in contemporary Native American jewelry. Complementing the design, the Opal adds its own story — While Australian opals are world-renowned, Native American artists often use opals from Nevada and Mexico. The stone's play of color, caused by light diffracting through silica spheres, creates mesmerizing rainbow effects. Ships from our gallery in Sedona, Arizona.

Western Australia
Characteristics
Gaspeite is one of the rarest colors in Native American jewelry — an opaque apple- to lime-green stone, often threaded with brown matrix, whose nickel-bright hue belongs to no other gem. Against silver it looks almost electric, and beside turquoise it sets up a green-on-blue contrast that has made it a favorite of contemporary Southwestern lapidaries.
Cared for thoughtfully, a handcrafted piece is meant to last generations. A few essentials for this one:
Sterling silver
Buff with a soft polishing cloth — leaving intentional oxidation intact — and store airtight to slow tarnish.
Last on, first off
Put your piece on after fragrance, lotion, and hairspray — and take it off before water, sleep, and sport.
Store with care
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch, away from direct sun and damp, so softer stones never meet harder ones.
Complimentary US shipping on all jewelry
