A lot of seven rough Welo opal pieces from Ethiopia, with burattato mineral form, weighing a total of 2 g.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This lot consists of 7 pieces of rough, unpolished Welo Opal from Ethiopia, with a total weight recorded by scale of 2 grams (equivalent to 10 carats).
## Description and Visual Features
Unlike the previous lots, this small set stands out for an extremely high percentage of Crystal Opal that is very bright and exhibits varied play of color:
* Play of Color: Close-up images with focused light show an exceptional fire. The larger central piece radiates a neon green and full-spectrum strong orange flash [CdaklM]. Also prominent is a piece with a deep violet/blue reflection (visible at the center) and a nodule on the left that displays multicolor reflections concentrated on a very clear semi-transparent base.
* Body Tone: Ranges from crystal clear to milky white, with a couple of pieces leaning toward warmer amber tones.
* Condition of Rough: These are freeform nodules. Two pieces in particular (the ones positioned further left) still show faint veins of brown host rock trapped in the natural fissures of the stone, a detail typical of geological extraction that confirms authenticity [gL8OjW].
The value sits in the mid-high range for this carat weight thanks to the beautiful crystal transparency of the main pieces and the almost complete absence of unproductive external rock crust, making the lot very interesting for small jewelry pieces or sampling.
The central specimen reacts differently to light, showing that violet reflection compared to the green of the others.
*As I am not an expert in the field, I leave to those who are expert the correct evaluation of whether the lot is natural mineral or synthetic*
