On pink opal from Ica, that habit reads as soft bubbling forms in a matte, almost powdery pink you will not find in quartz or agate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeru is the source for opal in this colour, and Ica in particular. These are specimen pieces in the 1 to 3 inch range, between 12 and 53 grams — small enough for a shelf, individual enough that no two share a silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBotryoidal pink opal specimen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Ica, Peru\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\" to 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 to 53 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRounded botryoidal growth habit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShips within 3 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37\"\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisplay it where it can sit low and be looked down on — botryoidal surfaces read best from above, where the rounded forms overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a gentle-coloured specimen, so it pairs well beside darker stones rather than competing with them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep it out of direct sun and away from heat.
