AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Provenance: Welo Region, world reference for opal since the 2000s.
Lithotherapy: Stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. It amplifies artistic expression, favors 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, under the risk of irreversible internal microcracks.
Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of quickly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light illuminating it. Depending on brightness, you can see multicolored fires or simply a milky base. That is where the magic of this stone lies.

1. Secure shipping with tracking number.
2. Shipment twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery may take 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and customs clearance times at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, untreated in color, 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 presentation accessory.
5. Please note the following:
The stones have changing reflections depending on light, indoor lighting, or sunlight.
Photos were taken indoors with adapted lighting and outdoors in natural light when the weather allows. I always strive to faithfully reproduce the natural colors of the stone.
6. According to Catawiki regulations, shipping costs can only be shared if the items are in the same sale on the same day.
Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
