$170.00

A generous trio of hand-cut Ethiopian Welo opal cabochons totaling 11.5 carats, each one flickering with bright, restless color.

Welo (Wollo) opal is mined in the Ethiopian highlands and known for its vivid play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. The cabochons were individually cut and polished by hand, the domed form chosen to maximize light dispersion and fire. Welo is a hydrophane opal, so it can absorb a little moisture and change in appearance, often revealing pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.

Material: Ethiopian Welo opal cabochons, 3-piece set, 11.5 total carats
Locality: Welo (Wollo) region, Ethiopia
Color: Play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues

The exact three cabochons shown are the ones you'll receive — one of a kind.
