AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This natural cabochon displays a play of colors of remarkable intensity: electric green flashes, emerald, yellow, and red explode on a golden background sprinkled with streaks that change with every angle of light. The colors are vivid and contrasted, the signature of the most expressive Welo opals.
Provenance: Welo region, worldwide 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: Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household products, to prevent irreversible internal microcracks.
The Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that shines on it. Depending on brightness, one may see multicolored fires or simply a light base.
