Tilt this one in the light and watch it ignite — a hand-cut Ethiopian Welo opal cabochon, 10.0 total carats, alive with shifting flashes of fire.

Welo (Wollo) opal comes from the highlands of Ethiopia and is famous for its vivid play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Each cabochon is individually cut and polished by hand, the domed shape chosen to draw out maximum depth and brilliance. As a hydrophane opal, Welo can absorb a little moisture, giving it an ever-changing personality, and it often shows pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
