Despite the name, this opal is anything but “common.” Mined in the Andes Mountains of Chile, the vivid turquoise-blue body tone of this natural opal is unlike anything found in traditional Australian fields. Its saturated, oceanic hue feels at once earthy and electric—something you’d expect from a gem formed along tectonic fault lines.

This piece features a 0.75” x 0.8” heart-shaped cabochon set in a sterling silver prong basket with a graceful curve to the metalwork. It’s a bold pop of color in an iconic shape—romantic and contemporary, casual and collectible.

The 16” cable chain rests just below the collarbone, making this necklace perfect for daily wear or gifting. Whether it’s your first opal or one of many, this heart brings a playful new energy to any collection.
