    Gemstone Description
    Ethiopian opal with a rare and intricate python pattern. This 2.08 ct pear-shaped cabochon displays vivid fire in red, green, yellow, orange, and blue, set against a dark cream crystal base. Its high brilliance, unusual pattern, and excellent polish make it a standout piece—perfect for a one-of-a-kind pendant or ring.

    This gem is untreated and 100% natural, sourced ethically from Welo, Ethiopia.

    Most Welo opals are hydrophane, meaning they can absorb and release water due to their porous structure. While all opals require care, this variety is particularly sensitive to immersion, which can cause changes in appearance or, over time, fine surface cracks. Handle with care and avoid prolonged exposure to liquids.

    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.
