About the stone: Opal
Pliny the Elder called opal the gem that carries all others inside it. Ancient Greeks believed they fell from heaven in flashes of lightning. From Australian boulder, Lightning Ridge black, Ethiopian crystal, to Mexican fire, to Peruvian pink, opals are full of mystery, evoking nebulae, the depths of the sea, and wonders yet-to-be-discovered. No two flash alike.

About the stone: Diamond
Pure carbon, crystallized a hundred miles down and delivered to the surface by ancient volcanoes. The hardest natural material there is; the name comes from the Greek adamas, unconquerable. HFJ favors the unconventional ones: black diamonds, blue diamonds, old mine cuts proportioned for candlelight.
