Opalescent: exhibiting a milky iridescence like that of an opal
Well, this word seems like a good choice for a Hump Day. For those of you who don't know what an opal is, it is a precious stone (birthstone for all you October babies) and in its precious form, it somewhat resembles the iridescent qualities of a pearl. Though this word would make good use of itself describing gemstones, it could also be used to describe the complexion of a lover.
For example:
The linen sheet dropped just low enough to reveal her form, opalescent skin glistening in candlelight, drawing a shadowy path across her neck to her chest to the delicate hearth that would capture his soul.
Take an insurance policy out on this one and keep a velvet bag handy, because this precious jewel is one you will want to keep around for a while. This word is the kind that only becomes more valuable with age.
