Ethiopia

This Ethiopian Opal lights up with an intense play-of-color from all viewing directions. Every color on the visible spectrum is represented; even the rarer red and orange hues are present and abundant with a pinfire pattern. The 6.08-carat stunner features a unique and amorphous shape with an even polish all the way around. The milky whitish background creates a lovely canvas for the "fire" to dance across each polished surface. This is a knockout offering and must be viewed in person to grasp its true beauty.
