AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
2.84 ct 12.00 x 9.00 x 5.00 mm Finest Rainbow Welo Opal (Natural Opal, Smoked)
0.56 grams - with fiery red and green sparkle - please examine this opal under a magnifying glass with light - it is full of fiery red and sparkling green light reflections.
Whole 2.84 carat heavy large fine Rainbow Opal (treatment: smoked) from the famous Welo region in Ethiopia.
Black Rainbow Welo-Opal – 2.84 ct, Ethiopia
Directly from the famous Wollo Province, the epicenter of East African opal deposits, this exceptional gemstone combines natural purity with artful smoking (light opals are exposed to the smoke of a fire to achieve this hue) – for a deep black base tone and maximum color play. Color play varies 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 2.84 ct, this is an impressive collector's stone.
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)
