Silver bracelet with Opals

Hi all,
Came across a good find this morning on the beach. It was at around 6" down In packed wet sand. All I know that it's a sterling silver type chain as it has 92.5 on the back, the rest is a mystery. The opals are quite clear until the light comes through them, then the colours appear. Just wanted to know if anyone would have an idea on price, as sales assistants in shops have know idea.




Thanks
Mick

I'd never heard of moonstone, now that you mention it you could be right. I'll give it a cut and polish During the week and see how it comes up.

If it was solid opal, I doubt whether it would be set in a silver chain/bracelet, more likely to be a cheaper triplet, or as mentioned above, moonstone. Still a decent chunk of silver to find lying around the beach, I'd be pretty pleased with that.

Nice find, may have been a kids bracelet small wrist and it's not broken suppose it could have been left on a towel. All I have found so far is worth 20 cents

Really nice find, I reckon it's moonstone too.

An update on the bracelet, Rainbow Moonstone, has been worn for awhile but should polish up nicely, valued between $200-$500 when new, but being worn jeweller said you could sell it for the silver

Hi Mick64
I am thinking Moonstones as well or crystal opal.
A similar sized setting on sale at Lightning Ridge shop in doublets was still in the $600 dollar mark.
A lot of opals are set in 925 silver.
Great find all the same.

Still a great find mate , even if u found nothing but that , then what a hunt . You found the needle in the haystack

Yep, my first thought on seeing the pic was moonstone, too.
