Welo Ethiopian opal ring with a natural cabochon, set in 925 silver, adjustable size 56/58, from the Welo region of Ethiopia.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This natural cabochon displays a color play of remarkable intensity: electric green flashes, emerald, yellow and red explode on a golden background speckled with lightning that changes at every angle of light. The colors are vivid and contrasted, signature of the most expressive Welo opals.
Provenance: Welo region, world reference for opal since the 2000s.
Lithotherapy: 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 lightness.
Care: The Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes and household products, to reduce the risk of irreversible internal microcracks.
Ethiopian opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on brightness, one can see multicolored flashes or simply a light base.
