Description from the seller
This natural cabochon displays an exceptionally vivid play of color: electric green and red flashes burst across a golden background, dotted with yellow sparks that shift with every angle of the light. The colors are vivid and contrasting, a hallmark of the most expressive Welo opals.
Provenance: Welo region, a world-renowned source of opal since the 2000s.
Lithotherapy: A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral and crown chakras. It enhances artistic expression, encourages spontaneity, and invites you to embrace change with ease.
Care: Welo opal is a hydrophane stone, meaning it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household products, as these may cause irreversible internal microcracks.
Ethiopian opal has the distinctive ability to change appearance quickly depending on the intensity and type of light illuminating it.
Depending on the brightness or lighting, you may see multicolored flashes or simply a dark base.
That is where the magic of this stone lies.

1. Secure shipping with a postal tracking number.
2. Shipping twice a week. For Europe and international destinations, delivery may take 8 to 15 days depending on the destination and the time required for customs inspections at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine, with no color, resin, or plastic treatments. They have all been carefully selected, but as they are natural, handcrafted products, they may sometimes have minor imperfections.
4. The stated size includes the bail.
Actual photos—you will receive the pendant shown.
5. The stones display changing reflections depending on the light, indoor lighting, or sunlight.
The photos were taken indoors with suitable lighting and outdoors in natural light when the weather allowed. I always try to reproduce the stone’s natural colors as faithfully as possible.
Thank you for your interest, and happy bidding.
