AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Provenance: Welo region, worldwide reference for opal since the 2000s.
NOTE: Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on brightness, whether the lighting is direct or indirect, or whether we are outside or inside, one may see multicolored fire or simply a milky base. It is precisely in this that the magic of this stone lies, its specificity.
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 ease.
Care: The Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household products, as this can cause irreversible internal microcracks.
-----------------------------------
1. Secure shipment with a tracking number.
2. Shipment twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery times may vary from 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and the time required for customs clearance at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. Each has been carefully selected.
4. The stated size includes the bail. The setting is in 925 sterling silver, stamped.
5. The photos were taken with appropriate lighting to faithfully reproduce the stone's natural colors as accurately as possible.
6. Please inspect the photographs carefully; they are an integral part of the description.
Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
