AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
For sale: an extraordinary and impressive rough Crystal Noble Opal specimen from the celebrated mines of Wello Province, Ethiopia.
Weighing an exceptional 112.60 carats, this stone is an important piece for collectors.
Unique features of this specimen:
• Spectacular Play-of-Color: The opal displays exceptional multicolored iridescence. In the light, it bursts with vivid flashes ranging from electric blue and emerald green to warm yellow and bright orange tones.
• 100% Natural: The stone is presented in its original rough state, partially encased in its natural brown matrix (the host rock), creating a fascinating contrast and authenticating its origin.
• Quality and Transparency: A crystalline, translucent body that magically diffracts light from every angle.
Technical specifications:
• Type: Natural Crystal Opal (Hydrophane)
• Origin: Welo, Ethiopia
• Weight: 112.60 carats (Ct)
• Treatment: None, 100% Natural
Perfectly Dry Specimen
Unlike many opals on the market that are photographed or sold wet, submerged in water to temporarily enhance their transparency and color brilliance, this specimen was photographed and is being sold perfectly dry. The saturated colors and flashes visible in the photos are real, permanent, and have not been artificially altered by surface hydration. Having stabilized in air, its excellent color performance in a dry state demonstrates the exceptionally high quality of the material and drastically reduces the risk of future cracking (crazing) or clouding, which are typical of stones sold wet.
Additional Photography Settings
All items are photographed individually using a high-resolution camera with macro magnification, indoors under 5000 Kelvin LED lighting—the color temperature closest to sunlight. The photos are not altered in any way, except for cropping.
Customer Service
You can contact us at any time through Catawiki messaging with any further questions about the item you are interested in, and we will try to reply as soon as possible.

We always do our best, but if you are not satisfied for any reason, in accordance with applicable regulations and as a matter of our personal conviction, we guarantee a refund to any customer who is unhappy with their purchase, regardless of the reason.
Thank you for your attention, and happy bidding!
