Welo-Opal – a spectacular natural specimen with intense neon green, blue, and a fiery play of color. 40.7- 8.15 g

This exceptional Welo opal natural specimen from Ethiopia displays an impressive and decidedly intense play of color that stretches across large areas of the opal. Particularly dominant is an exceptionally vivid neon green, which depending on the viewing angle shifts from intense turquoise and electric blue to orange, yellow and fiery red. It is precisely the combination of the glowing green and the sometimes extremely strong red and orange color flashes that makes this specimen especially impressive. The photos clearly show how strongly the appearance of the stone changes with light and viewing angle: while on one side the glowing green and blue dominate, in other areas spectacular orange-red flames and color-rich light fields emerge. The opal has a natural, irregular rough form and is partly surrounded by its original host rock matrix, so the natural formation character has been preserved very nicely. The polished or exposed surfaces give a deep insight into the opalescent material and show the extraordinary color effect particularly vividly. Because of the size of the opalescent areas, the enormous color intensity, and the broad spectrum from neon green through blue and turquoise to orange and red, it visually constitutes a very attractive collector's and display piece. A characterful natural piece for discerning opal collectors, mineral lovers, and enthusiasts of extraordinary natural art, where especially the intense play of color and the natural matrix provide a unmistakable overall impression.
