Welo opal is Ethiopian

Welo opal is Ethiopian

This natural cabochon displays a play of colors of remarkable intensity: electric green, emerald, yellow and red bursts against a golden background speckled with flashes that shift with every angle of light. The colors are vivid and high-contrast, a signature of the most expressive Welo opals. Provenance: Welo Region, a world reference for opal since the early 2000s. Lithotherapy: A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. It amplifies artistic expression, fosters spontaneity, and invites embracing change with ease. Care: The Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household cleaning products, to prevent irreversible internal microfissures. Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light illuminating it. Depending on brightness, one can see multicolored fires or simply a light base. 1. Secure shipping with tracking number. 2. Shipped twice a week. For Europe and internationally, delivery times may vary from 8 to 15 days depending on destination and customs clearance delays at the borders. 3. All my stones are genuine, with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. They have all been selected with care, but as natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections. 4. Mounted on 925 silver. Yellow gold plating. 5. The stones have shifting reflections depending on light, indoor lighting or sun. The photos were taken from different angles and lighting conditions to show their various aspects. 6. Please examine the photographs carefully; they are an integral part of the description. Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
