AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
11.42 XL Opal ct 20.00 x 15.00 x 7.50 mm Finest Rainbow Welo Opal Gigant (Natural Opal)
2.28 grams! heavy and 2.00 cm large
Entire 11.42-carat large, very fine 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 11.42 ct, this is a particularly impressive, high-quality collector and investment gemstone giant.
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)
