I got this stone more than a year ago and I never knew what to do with it. I hadn't even known about cantera opals before.
When I finally decided I had to use it, it took me four attempts to be happy with the outcome. I started with silver, but it looked too pale. I tried bigger pearls, but they were too overbearing.
Even if I say so myself now - this is just what I wanted.
Cantera refers to the matrix the opal is polished with. Cantera opals come from Mexico and are the equivalent to Australian Boulder opals.
