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, promotes 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, as this can cause irreversible internal microfissures.
Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on the brightness, one can see multicolored fires or simply a milky base. This is where the magic of this stone lies.
