Don't miss this simply amazing OPAL! Sourced from the Welo region of Ethiopia, this substantial gemstone is all natural, and colorful all the time. Its strong play of color really makes it stand out, showing a mix of tiny block and ribbon patterns across its top, and wide block patterning across its bottom. And it shines in every lighting condition, even low light and shadows. And the whole display is held under a smooth polished liquid luster. The colors of this piece are suspended through preferred jelly opal clarity with just a touch of orange that amplifies there visual presence. Greens, oranges, and golds compete for your attention with a constant showing of turquoise, periwinkle, and violet swirling in the background. The photos should just be used as a reference to color and pattern, focusing more on the shape, as this opal has a much more impressive showing in hand. This remarkable opal measures 19.3mm x 12.3mm x 8.3mm, and is untreated.

Gems come with a complimentary gem jar for display and protection, size permitting. All treatments are disclosed*, and all weights and sizes are approximate.

There may be slight color differences due to individual monitor settings and capabilities. *Except for topaz.
