Unlike most metals which must be refined from ores, copper occurs in nature ready to be used. It was the first metal humans learned to smelt, the first we learned to cast into shapes and the first we mixed with other metals to form alloys. We've come a long way in the last 10,000 years, but we still love the red-orange luster of a nice shiny piece of copper!

When used for jewelry, silver is mixed with copper or zinc to provide more durability and reduce tarnishing. Fine silver is 99.9% silver while sterling silver is 92.5%. Other alloys are used for specific processes, such as reticulation (80% silver). All silver will tarnish over time, but can be easily cleaned and polished.

opalized wood, sterling silver, fine silver
Opal is a very interesting stone. It's formed when silica gel finds its way into crevices within a larger rock. As the water in the gel evaporates, silica left behind in the form of tiny spheres. Overtime, those spheres crystallize to form opal. Wood opal occurs when organic material in trees decays and is replaced with opal.
