AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This natural cabochon displays a remarkable play of colors: electric green flashes, emerald, yellow, and red burst against a golden background sprinkled with flashes that change with every angle of light. The colors are vivid and contrasted, the hallmark of the most expressive Welo opals.
Provenance: Welo region, a world reference for opal since the 2000s.
Lithotherapy: A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is linked to the sacral and crown chakras. 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.
Ethiopian opal has the distinctive feature of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light illuminating it. Depending on brightness, one can see multicolored fires or simply a pale base.
