Natural Ethiopian fire opal, 2.94 carats (0.588 g), oval, from Ethiopia.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful white opal commonly called WELO opal, featuring a sublime fire of 2.94 carats with multicolored electric hues.

This natural Ethiopian opal has an ideal oval shape, perfect for jewelry or collectors.

The name opal likely comes from the Sanskrit 'upala' and the Greek 'opalios', which refers to a change of color. Indeed, noble opals exhibit a physical phenomenon of iridescence produced by the diffraction of light on homogeneous silica particles.

I took the various photos under lighting to best show you the iridescence phenomenon present in the opal I am selling.

The photos were taken at a specific moment in time that you will certainly not be able to find again.

No reserve price for a magnificent opal.
