Description from the seller

6.96 XL Opal ct 18.00 x 11.00 x 6.60 mm Finest Rainbow Welo Opal (Natural Opal)
Weighs 1.39 grams and measures 1.80 cm by 1.10 cm.
A large, immensely fine 6.96-carat Rainbow Opal (natural opal) from the famous Welo region in Ethiopia.
Black Rainbow Welo-Opal – 6.96 ct, Ethiopia
Directly from the famous Wollo Province, the center of East African opal deposits: this extraordinary gemstone combines natural purity with excellent color play and maximum rainbow shimmer — with the color play varying depending on the lighting.
The hydrophane/water-containing opal displays an intense, three-dimensional spectrum of red, green, violet and gold – rare in this saturation and size.
Natural silica gel structures in the stone refract the light in the finest microarchitecture – a mineralogical miracle.
With 6.96 ct, this is an impressive, high-quality collector's and investment gemstone.
Untreated or set in platinum: a symbol of style, rarity and substance.
Invest in geological excellence with lasting value.
The stone comes from the Semien Wollo mountain region and is therefore called Welo Opal.
Specific location: Wegel Tena (The stone has been checked for authenticity by us)
