At 12.40 carats, this hand-cut Ethiopian Welo opal cabochon has real presence — a broad canvas for the stone's restless, shifting fire. Welo (Wollo) opal is sourced from the Ethiopian highlands and treasured for its vivid play-of-color in reds, greens, blues, and neon hues. Cut and polished by hand, the domed form is shaped to maximize light dispersion and depth. As a hydrophane opal, Welo can absorb a little moisture and change in look over time, often showing pinfire, honeycomb, or broad-flash patterns.
