AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This natural cabochon unveils a color play of remarkable intensity: electric green, emerald, yellow, and red flashes explode on a golden background scattered with sparks that change with each angle of light. The colors are vivid and contrasted, the signature of the most expressive Welo opals.
Provenance: Welo region, a world reference for opal since the 2000s.
Crystal healing (Lithotherapy): A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral chakra and the crown chakra. It enhances artistic expression, fosters spontaneity, and invites embracing change with lightness.
Care: The Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes and household products, under penalty of irreversible internal microcracks.
The Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light illuminating it. Depending on brightness, you may see multicolored flames or simply a light and milky base.
