Rocky Trails Jewelry Theme:

*Rocky Trails is a WhiteRock color scheme that is hand made using a specific combination of stones. The stone combination is made up of the following colors: light brown, golden brown, black, and opal. These colors are made using the highest grades of stones. Given the variety of colorations that are used in the WhiteRock collection and the rarity of the highest quality stones, keeping the colors of each scheme consistent with a certain high grade stone is a challenge. In order to have these color schemes consistently available, the following stones are used:

*Light Brown: The real stones that are used in different instances for light brown are Picture Rock and Picture Jasper.

*Black: The real inlay used in different instances for black are Black Onyx, Black Jade, Black shell, and Jet.

*Golden Brown: Real Tiger Eye.

*Opal: Blue or White manmade fiery opal.

Most people know Opal for its distinctive play of color, it is semi-transparent solidified mineral composed of silicon and water, and it gets its name from the Latin word "Oplus" meaning precious stone. Opal is October's birthstone. It is believed to release self-consciousness allowing spontaneous action, and awakens one's psychic and mystical qualities.

Tiger Eye stone contains a golden yellow reflection on a brown ground color. The most important source of tiger eye is South Africa, but it is also found in Australia, India, and California. It is believed to give courage, clear thinking, and protects from negativity.
