AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent specimen of Rough Ethiopian Noble Opal, from the renowned Welo mining region. A one-of-a-kind gem, ideal both for discerning mineral collectors and for artisans and cutters looking for high-quality rough to work with.
Even when dry, the stone already displays a beautiful translucent crystalline area, from which vivid, electrifying flashes of color (play-of-color) emerge, predominantly green and blue, clearly visible even without wetting the stone.
