AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Provenance: Welo Region, a world reference for opal since the 2000s.

Lithotherapy: A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. It amplifies artistic expression, fosters spontaneity, and invites embracing change with lightness.

Care: The Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household products, to prevent irreversible internal microcracks.

Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of quickly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on brightness, you can see multicolored fire or simply a milky base. This is where the magic of this stone resides.

1. Secure shipment with tracking number.

2. Dispatch twice a week. For Europe and international, delivery time may vary from 8 to 15 days depending on destination and customs checks at borders.

3. All my stones are genuine, with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. They have all been carefully selected, but as they are natural and handmade products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.

4. The stated size includes the bail. The chain in the photos is not part of the sale; it is a display accessory.

5. Please take this into account: The stones have changing reflections depending on light, indoor lighting or sunlight. The photos were taken indoors with appropriate lighting and outdoors in natural light when weather allows. I always try to faithfully reproduce the stone’s natural colors as accurately as possible.

6. According to Catawiki’s rules, shipping costs can only be pooled if the items are in the same sale on the same day.

Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
