AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
NATURAL CRYSTAL OPAL WELO – ETHIOPIA
A large and striking natural Crystal Opal Welo from Ethiopia, weighing over 22 grams.
This is a unique specimen with a characteristic translucent structure that allows light to penetrate into the stone and reveal its natural depth.
The opal's greatest ornament is its natural play of light and color, changing with the viewing angle and lighting.
Inside the stone you can discern subtle reflections and color transitions that give it an individual character.
Such a large specimen presents beautifully as a collectible piece.
The natural form, substantial mass, and the Crystal Opal's characteristic translucency make it an interesting stone for opal and mineral collectors.
Every natural opal is unique — its internal structure, transparency, pattern, and way of reflecting light are the result of natural processes.
