This sizeable rough Ethiopian opal specimen weighs over 100 grams and exhibits the raw, unpolished qualities collectors and gem enthusiasts appreciate. Ethiopian opals are known for their remarkable play of color, a phenomenon where shifting iridescent hues dance across the stone's surface due to its unique internal structure. Found primarily in the Wollo and Shewa regions, Ethiopian opals have gained popularity for their vivid colors and comparatively affordable prices. While opals are traditionally cut and polished to accentuate their vibrant patterns, rough opal specimens remain prized for their natural state, making them valuable for lapidaries and collectors interested in the stone's formation and geological context.
