Custom Cut Polished and Wire Wrapped Kaleidoscope Prism Stone Necklace/Pendant/Slide/Enhancer .935 Sterling Silver Size: 1 11/16 × 1 1/16 inch or 43mm x 27mm
Kaleidoscope Prism Stone (YES, it is naturally occurring) from Utah is a relative newcomer to the lapidary and jewelry scene. Also now more commonly being referred to as Kaleidoscope Agate*, it really isn't agate at all, but prismatic Flourite and and Common Opal, with the higher grade material containing inclusions of other colorful minerals including Malachite, Chrysocolla, Amethyst, Agate and other trace minerals like Cuprite between the lines of the Flourite prisms and less of the common opal. The lines in the stone are healed stress fractures, which are what create that "prismatic" effect and make this such a unique and beautiful treasure.
