A little powerhouse of color — this 10.5-carat Ethiopian Welo opal cabochon throws bright, darting flashes of fire from nearly every angle. Welo (Wollo) opal is mined in the Ethiopian highlands and celebrated for its vivid play-of-color across reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Cut and polished by hand, the domed cabochon shape is chosen to maximize the stone's depth and brilliance. Welo is a hydrophane opal, so it can absorb a little moisture and shift in appearance, often displaying pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
