Welo Opal Cabochon 7.8 Total Carat Weight

Small but mighty — this 7.8-carat Ethiopian Welo opal cabochon packs concentrated, color-shifting fire into a neat hand-cut dome.

Welo (Wollo) opal is mined in the Ethiopian highlands and prized for its vivid play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Cut and polished by hand, the cabochon shape was chosen to maximize light dispersion and brilliance. As a hydrophane opal, Welo can absorb a little moisture and change in look over time, often showing pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
