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, 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 peculiarity of quickly changing appearance according to the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it.
Depending on brightness or lighting, you can see multicolored flashes or just a milky base.
That is where the magic of this stone lies.

1. Secure shipping with tracking number.
2. Shipped twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery time may vary from 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and customs clearance times at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, with no color treatment, resin, or plastic. They have all been selected with care, but as they are natural and artisanal products, they may sometimes show small imperfections.
4. The stated size includes the bail. The chain in the photo is not included in the sale,
5. The photos were taken with appropriate lighting to faithfully reproduce the stone's natural colors as accurately as possible.
6. Unlike an industrial piece, a handmade artisanal jewelry piece in stone and silver, even of high quality, may show slight marks or traces that attest to its authenticity.
7. Please examine the photographs carefully; they are an integral part of the description.
Thank you for your interest and happy bidding.
