{"title":"Yellow Opal Beads","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eYellow opal beads are common opal, the kind without play of color, in a soft butter to honey yellow. Most of it is sold as African yellow opal and comes from Tanzania. This collection holds natural yellow opal in a range of finishes and shapes for bracelets, necklaces and earrings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor runs from pale cream yellow to a warm mustard, with some beads showing a faint translucency at the edges and others fully opaque. Many strands carry light brown or tan mottling and small darker specks, and the tone shifts from bead to bead, so a strand reads as a gentle gradient rather than a flat color. A polished finish gives yellow opal a waxy, soft glow rather than a hard glassy shine; microfaceting adds crisp edges and small highlights that make the yellow look brighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpal is 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, softer than quartz, and common opal holds several percent water in its structure. Avoid sudden heat, long dry storage in direct sun and harsh cleaners, all of which can craze or dull the surface, and store the strand apart from harder beads. Water itself does not harm it. It suits bracelets worn with some care, and necklaces and earrings without concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFormation and origin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpal is hydrated silica that settles out of groundwater in cracks and cavities, hardening without ever forming true crystals. Precious opal gets its play of color from silica spheres stacked in orderly rows; common opal's spheres are jumbled, so it shows body color only. Iron oxides in the silica give yellow opal its color, and the brown mottling is the same iron in heavier concentration. Tanzania supplies most yellow opal beads, with similar material from Peru and Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/sunstone-beads\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eSunstone beads\u003c\/a\u003e: peach feldspar with copper glitter extends yellow opal's warmth into orange.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/amber-beads\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eAmber beads\u003c\/a\u003e: honey tones that match yellow opal almost exactly, in a lighter, warmer material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/strawberry-quartz-beads\" style=\"color: #2b00ff;\"\u003eStrawberry quartz beads\u003c\/a\u003e: soft pink with sparkling inclusions, a pastel partner for butter yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLore and Meaning\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow opal meaning in crystal traditions centers on warmth, optimism and creativity, and it is associated with the solar plexus chakra for its color. Opal in general was prized by the Romans as a stone of hope and purity, and the Victorian belief that it brought bad luck came from a novel rather than from older tradition. These are traditional beliefs, not claims of physical effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"yellow-opal-microfaceted-round","title":"African Yellow Opal A · Microfaceted · Round · 2.5mm","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eStrand Length: approx 15 inches.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e100% natural African Yellow Opal beads.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis stone is known for its sunny, uplifting appearance and pairs beautifully with neutrals, gold findings, and other warm-toned gemstones.
