Welo Opal Cabochons 13.5 Total Carat Weight

Big color in a hand-cut package — 13.5 total carats of Ethiopian Welo opal, brimming with the kind of fire that makes opal lovers lean in.

From the Welo (Wollo) region of the Ethiopian highlands, this opal is prized for its brilliant play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Each cabochon is individually cut and polished by hand, the dome shaped to bring out maximum brilliance. As a hydrophane opal, Welo can absorb a little moisture and change in appearance, frequently showing pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
