    Birthstone
    Opal is the official birthstone for October, alongside tourmaline, and is also the gem of the 14th wedding anniversary. Its name comes from the Sanskrit “Upala,” meaning “precious stone,” and the Greek “opallios,” meaning “to see a change of colors.” This unique gem belongs to the silica group and is made up of microscopic spheres that diffract light, creating the beloved play-of-color. Long associated with luck and inspiration, opals remain one of nature’s most enchanting treasures.
    Gemstone Description
    This Super Quality Welo Opal of 4.82 ct is a truly striking gemstone, featuring a mesmerizing honeycomb pattern and a full spectrum of colors—red, green, yellow, orange, and blue—visible from every angle. The pear cabochon cut enhances its brilliance, while the expert polish and excellent cut grade make it ideal for custom settings.

    The base color is light crystal, with a slightly darker area on the back that does not affect the gem’s beauty or visual appeal. A rare find of top quality, perfect for fine jewelry or a standout piece in a gem collection.

    Welo opals are hydrophane, meaning they can absorb water due to their porous nature. To preserve their beauty, avoid prolonged contact with liquids.

    100% Natural and Untreated — ethically sourced from Welo, Ethiopia.
