AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
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 enhances artistic expression, favors 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, as this risks irreversible internal microfissures.
Ethiopian opal has the particularity of quickly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that illuminates it. Depending on the brightness, you can see multicolored flashes or simply a milky base. This is where the magic of this stone resides.
