    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 1.66 ct Ethiopian Welo Opal is a rare gem, showing a captivating broad flash honeycomb pattern on one side and a deep orange-toned crystal base. Its fire is remarkably bright, with vivid flashes of red, green, yellow, orange, and blue that shift with the light, creating a striking visual effect from every angle.

    Expertly cut and polished in an oval cabochon shape, this untreated and 100% natural opal is ready to be set in bespoke jewelry. A bold and colorful choice for collectors or designers seeking something unique and full of life.

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