Gemstone: Opal - 8.34 Cts.
Ethiopia
17.17 x 12.31 x 7.48 mm

This 8.34-carat Opal from Ethiopia showcases a captivating broad flash pattern, with expansive fields of neon green, yellow, orange, and flashes of violet dancing across the faceted oval surface. The play-of-color is vibrant and well-distributed, with bold patches that shift dramatically under changing light. Cut in a brilliant-faceted oval shape, the stone's form enhances both optical performance and wearability. The translucent yellow body tone provides a glowing base for the internal fire, and the overall condition is excellent, with a clean, well-polished finish and no visible surface fractures.
