This colorful set of rough Welo Ethiopian opals showcases an exciting variety of play-of-color, from brilliant blue and green flashes to warm orange, fiery red, and golden yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach piece has its own personality. One specimen reveals striking blue and green flashes that become especially beautiful when the stone is held and turned under the light. Another displays predominantly green color with warm orange accents, while the third features glowing orange-red tones with splashes of yellow and green. Together, the three pieces offer a wonderful sampling of the color variation that makes Welo opal so fascinating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exposed opal surfaces contrast beautifully with the natural host matrix, giving each specimen an earthy, organic appearance. The translucent material allows light to interact with the internal color, and the flashes can shift in appearance as the viewing angle changes. Although the photographs capture some of the color, these specimens are especially fun to examine in hand under changing light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasuring approximately 12 to 22 mm, these natural rough pieces are lovely additions to an Ethiopian opal collection. They are offered together as a three-piece set, ideal for collectors who appreciate raw gemstone material, colorful mineral specimens, and the natural beauty of opal before it is cut and polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eItem number:\u003c\/span\u003e NC8000\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGemstone:\u003c\/span\u003e Welo Ethiopian opal\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eForm:\u003c\/span\u003e Three natural rough opal specimens in matrix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eColor play:\u003c\/span\u003e Blue, green, orange, red, and yellow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/span\u003e Translucent opal with varied color flashes and natural host matrix\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApproximate size range:\u003c\/span\u003e 12–22 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinish:\u003c\/span\u003e Natural and unpolished, with exposed opal surfaces\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQuantity:\u003c\/span\u003e Three pieces sold together as one set\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive the exact three specimens pictured.
