The Empress Statement Pendant: Natural Mexican Crystal Opal (13.60 ct) – From the Vault of the Empress
Price: € 2.650,- (Includes Official ALGT Certification)
The Story Behind the Jewel This is more than a gemstone; it is a piece of wearable history. This exceptional 13.60-carat Mexican Crystal Opal features a unique, irregular "free-form" shape, hand-selected by Mia Verbeeck for its organic beauty and immense scale. Sourced from the legendary deadstock prior to 1980, it captures the raw, powerful essence of the Mexican mines. Preserved in the Empress’s vault for four decades, its irregular silhouette and impressive volume make it a one-of-a-kind treasure that can never be replicated.
Double Guarantee of Authenticity
- Scientific Certification (ALGT): Report No. 22284330 identifies this as a Natural Crystal Opal with a stunning "Play of Color" and natural opalescence. The "no indication of treatment" status confirms that its fiery glow is 100% organic and untreated.
- Heritage Certificate: Accompanied by the Babiche Bijoux Heritage Certificate, documenting its direct provenance from the Mia Verbeeck estate.
From the Empress’s Notebook Mia Verbeeck had a keen eye for stones that broke the mold. In her handwritten journals, she noted regarding these rare free-form opals: "Nature does not work in perfect circles. The most beautiful souls, like the most beautiful stones, are those that embrace their own unique shape. This stone brings the power of individuality and immense light."
