Opals from Australia have been known for a long time. In recent years, a new variety from Ethiopia has somewhat stolen the show: the Welo opal! This stone is translucent and captivates with its characteristic, unique light reflections. It was discovered in the Semien Wollo mountain region in northeast Ethiopia. The exact time of discovery is not known. Some sources date the introduction of the Welo Opal to the Nairobi market to the year 1993. The discoverer is regarded as the chemist Tilahun Yohannes and already in 1994 the geologist Dr. N. Barot reported in an article in the ICA Gazette about this gemstone novelty. Mining gradually began; in 1997 only 10 kilograms were mined. The Eyaopal gemstone cutting house from Addis Ababa cut 400 grams. In the same year the Welo Opal was presented at the international mineral fair in Sainte‑Marie and a year later Eyaopal showed 350 cut opals at the Tucson trade fair. Commercial mining began in 2008. A new star among opals was born.
