No Reserve - 100.0 ct. Top Color Ethiopian Opal - Rough Collection- 20 g

Ethiopian opals are famous for their vibrant color play and transparent to semi-translucent body, making them a favorite among gemstone enthusiasts and jewelers alike. These opals often exhibit a rainbow-like dispersion of colors known as play-of-color, with hues ranging from reds and oranges to blues and greens. Rough Ethiopian opal specimens provide collectors and artisans a chance to work with natural material that can be cut and polished into cabochons or other jewelry forms. This variety of opal, especially from the Welo region, has gained popularity due to its brilliant flashes of color and relatively affordable pricing compared to traditional Australian opals. Rough stones offer insight into the opal’s natural matrix and the potential for carving unique shapes, blending artistry with the natural beauty of this gemstone.
