Fringed Boulder Opal
This bead embroidered barrette features a range of earthy hues -- rich reds, forest green, topaz, and brown satin glass beads that mimic the look of tiger's eye. It also uses real tigers eye (both yellow and red), poppy jasper, malachite, and boulder opal. That last one is my favorite --there are only a few pieces, but they've got a nice subtle flash.
