Welo Opal Cabochons 2 Piece Set 7.75 carats total

A neat pair of hand-cut Ethiopian Welo opal cabochons, 7.75 carats total — two well-matched stones with bright, lively color.

Welo (Wollo) opal is sourced from the Ethiopian highlands and prized for its vivid play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Both cabochons were individually cut and polished by hand, the domed shape chosen to maximize fire and depth. Welo is a hydrophane opal, so it can absorb a little moisture and change in appearance, often showing pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
