    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 rare 2.49 ct Ethiopian Welo Opal is a stunning example of nature’s artistry. With a deep orange crystal body and intense play-of-color, it exhibits a captivating honeycomb pattern that’s visible from both sides—making it especially versatile for jewelry design.

    Cut in a high-grade oval cabochon, this opal dazzles with vibrant flashes of red, green, blue, orange, and yellow under different lighting conditions. A natural and untreated gem, it’s perfect for a pendant, ring, or a collector’s one-of-a-kind creation.

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