    This 1.09 ct Welo Opal from Ethiopia is a petite treasure bursting with personality.

Its translucent green crystal base adds a distinctive glow, making it a unique and eye-catching stone.

    Though small in size, this opal is perfect for delicate, refined jewelry such as rings or pendants. Its natural brilliance and intricate fire make it a standout gem, ideal for those who appreciate fine details and rare beauty.

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