Natural opal contains water. Keep away from heat, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners. Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth.

A small raw opal in a thin wedge, tapering from a point to a wider end — like a single slice taken from something larger. The body is translucent and extraordinarily thin, which is why her fire reads as a continuous blaze rather than isolated flashes: the whole surface is lit through, from edge to edge. One-of-a-kind. October birthstone.

THE CHARACTER ARC: 

A small flare, cradled in a golden palm.

A flare is light that opens outward.

A signal flare is a small fire shot into the sky to say here, I am here, come find me. A solar flare is the sun releasing a sudden ribbon of plasma from its surface, bright enough to be seen from a hundred million miles away. The flare of a skirt is the moment the fabric decides to widen instead of fall straight. A flare of color, a flare of joy, a flare of recognition — in every case, something small chooses to open outward and announce itself.

Her body is one of those flares, held still. A thin wedge of translucent opal, tapering from a quiet point to a wider edge, with dense multi-color fire blazing across the full surface — the whole piece lit through, as if someone had taken a slice of sunrise and held it up against the window. The shape itself is a flare: narrow where it begins, open where it arrives.

She is for anyone who has ever been small and chosen to shine anyway — the person who sends up a signal because they are here, even if here is quiet. For the moment of opening outward instead of folding inward. She is the small flare in the palm — a wedge of blazing light, held carefully by a hand that knows the brightest things are the ones that chose to be seen.
