2.11 Carats | Natural Ethiopian Opal - Ethiopia
A dramatic 2.11-carat natural Ethiopian opal featuring a dark body that provides a striking backdrop for its play-of-color. Across different viewing angles, the stone reveals flashes of fiery red, vivid green, orange, yellow and touches of blue, creating a constantly changing appearance as the gemstone moves through the light.
The polished oval cabochon emphasizes the opal’s depth and internal color patterns. Particularly noticeable are the red and green flashes, which emerge from the dark background in scattered patches rather than presenting as a single uniform field of color.
Ethiopia has become an important modern source of precious opal, producing material with an extraordinary variety of patterns and color combinations. Each opal’s internal structure interacts with light differently, making its play-of-color inherently individual.
