Award Winning: Poseidon is a handcrafted pendant made up of five beautifully matched Quilpie blue green opals that inspired Leon to design and make Poseidon after seeing the wonderful deep blue green colours of Boulder Opal. They reminded me intensely of the colours of the ocean from the coral reef the deep blue abyss.
In Greek mythology Poseidon was the God of the sea, earthquakes and horses; the unique shapes of cut and polished Boulder Opal came together to form a design very similar to that of a sea horse.
