Rare Genuine Natural Peruvian Blue Opal 8mm 9mm Round Beads Top Quality Large Earthy Blue Opaline Stone Round Beads 15.5" Strand B0564

Compared to the 8mm Peruvian blue opal stands (also purchased 1 strand from that batch: see review for same), this strand of Peruvian blue opal had much more intense blue in it with more of a dark brown matrix background. I'm frankly not quite sure why it was priced less than the 8mm rounds of Peruvian blue opal. I like the browner matrix and the in-your-face blue on the stones somewhat better. At the end of the day, I think that Peruvian blue opal has a fairly wide range of colors associated with it. Anyhow, it's a real keeper. Thanks again! :-)
