AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This natural cabochon displays an exceptionally vivid play of color: flashes of electric green, emerald, yellow, and red burst across a golden background, with lightning-like flashes that shift with every angle of the light. The colors are vivid and highly contrasting, hallmarks of the most expressive Welo opals.
Origin: 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 that absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household cleaning products, as these may cause irreversible internal microcracks.
Ethiopian opal has the distinctive quality of changing appearance rapidly depending on the intensity and type of light shining on it.
Depending on the lighting, you may see
multicolored flashes or simply a light-colored base.

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 checks at the borders.
3. All my stones are genuine and have not been treated with colorants, resin, or plastic. They have all been carefully selected, but as they are natural, handcrafted products, they may sometimes have minor imperfections.
4. Set in 925 sterling silver. Yellow gold plating.
5. The stones show changing reflections depending on the light, whether indoor lighting or sunlight.
The photos were taken from different angles and under different lighting conditions to show you their various aspects.

Thank you for your interest, and happy bidding.
