Key Features & Highlights:

  • Massive 100 Carat Lot: A generous parcel offering substantial material for multiple high-value projects, ensuring both variety and significant investment potential.
  • Authentic Black Ethiopian Opal: Guaranteed 100% natural Welo opal from Ethiopia. The striking dark body tone is achieved through a common and accepted enhancement process.
  • Professionally Smoked for Enhanced Color: To achieve its highly desirable black body color, this opal has undergone a "smoking" treatment. This is a standard and widely accepted practice for enhancing the body tone of Ethiopian opals, intensifying the contrast and making the play of color incredibly vivid. This treatment permanently darkens the body color and does not affect the opal's inherent fire, durability, or stability.
  •  Diverse Range of Pieces: With 15-17 individual stones, you'll find a variety of sizes and shapes, each promising a unique fire pattern, perfect for different high-end cutting styles and bold jewelry designs.
  • Intense Multi-Fire Play of Color: Prepare to be utterly mesmerized by the dazzling flashes of fiery reds, brilliant greens, electric blues, and golden oranges dancing across these dark rough surfaces. The deep black background makes the spectral colors pop with unparalleled contrast.

Perfect for Custom Creation: This versatile lot is ideal for:

  •  Lapidaries: An excellent bulk purchase for cutting stunning, high-quality black opal cabochons, unique freeform gems, or even small carved pieces.
  • Jewelers/Designers: Its exceptional fire and naturally dark rough form make it perfectly suitable for setting into bespoke jewelry (e.g., striking pendants or bold statement rings) for a raw, organic, and truly sophisticated aesthetic.
  • Collector's Dream: A superb addition to any high-end gemstone or mineral collection, showcasing the rare and naturally enhanced beauty of Ethiopian black opal.

 

 

Important Considerations for Ethiopian Opal:

  • Hydrophane Properties: Ethiopian Welo opals are known for their hydrophane nature. This means they can absorb water and temporarily change transparency. Once they dry out, they return to their original state and color play. For finished jewelry, it is generally recommended to avoid prolonged water exposure.
  •  Natural Character: As natural rough stones, individual pieces in the lot may contain minor internal inclusions, natural fissures, or areas of host rock. These are part of their authenticity and character, and a skilled cutter can work around them to maximize yield and beauty.
