AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Origin: Welo Region, the world’s leading 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 a light heart.
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 particular quality of changing appearance quickly depending on the intensity and type of light illuminating it.
Depending on the lighting, you may see
multicolored flashes or simply a milky base.
That is what makes it so vibrant and magical.
