2.14 Carats | Natural Ethiopian Opal - Ethiopia

A striking 2.14-carat natural Ethiopian opal displaying brilliant multicolor play-of-color against a dramatically dark body. As the gemstone moves through the light, areas of vivid green, fiery orange, yellow, red and flashes of blue appear and disappear across the polished surface.

The stone has been fashioned into a smooth oval cabochon, allowing its internal color patterns to take center stage. Different viewing angles reveal distinctly different combinations of color—from concentrated green and red flashes to broader areas of yellow-orange fire.

Ethiopia has become one of the world’s significant modern sources of precious opal. Its deposits are known for producing stones with remarkable variations in play-of-color and pattern, making individual specimens visually distinctive.

This particular stone is especially compelling because its dark appearance creates strong contrast with the brighter spectral colors, giving the flashes of green, orange and red considerable visual impact.
