Multicolored Welo opal of Ethiopian origin

Multicolored Welo opal of Ethiopian origin

5mm pearls Bracelet weighing 4.5 grams Wrist circumference 16.5 cm Important: The photos have been taken from different angles and under varying lighting conditions to reveal the many facets of this stone. Indeed, opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light illuminating it. Depending on the brightness, one can see multicolored fire or simply a translucent base. The first Ethiopian opals were discovered in the 1990s, notably in the Wollo province. These stones are distinguished by their color diversity and translucency. The black opal, with its dark base highlighting bright color flashes, is particularly rare and sought after. It presents a light base often white, which enhances the play of colors on its surface. Today, Ethiopian opal is highly valued for its beauty and rarity, contributing to Ethiopia's growing reputation as a major source of high-quality opals. 1. Secure shipment with tracking number. 2.
