AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Origin: Welo Region, the world’s leading source of opal since the 2000s.

Crystal healing: A stone of creativity and emotion, opal is associated with the sacral and crown chakras. It amplifies artistic expression, encourages spontaneity, and invites you to embrace change with ease.

Care: Welo opal is a hydrophane stone; it absorbs water. Avoid repeated contact with water, perfumes, and household products, as these may cause irreversible internal microcracks.

Ethiopian opal has the distinctive quality of changing appearance quickly depending on the intensity and type of light shining on it.

Depending on the lighting, you may see
multicolored flashes or simply a milky base.
That is what makes it come alive and seem magical.

1. Secure shipping with a postal tracking number.

2. Orders are shipped 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, with no color, resin, or plastic treatments. They have all been carefully selected, but as they are natural, handmade products, they may sometimes have small imperfections that attest to their authenticity.

4. The stated size includes the bail. The chain shown in the photos is not included in the sale; it is a display accessory.

5. The photos were taken with suitable lighting to reproduce the stone’s natural colors as faithfully as possible.

6. Please examine the photographs carefully; they form an integral part of the description.

Thank you for your interest, and happy bidding.
