2.33 Carats | Natural Ethiopian Opal - Ethiopia

A captivating 2.33-carat natural Ethiopian opal displaying vivid play-of-color against a dramatically dark body appearance. Across different viewing angles, the stone comes alive with intense electric green, accompanied by flashes of yellow-gold, orange, red and blue.

The polished oval cabochon provides a broad canvas for the opal’s changing color. Particularly impressive is the strong green coverage, which forms large illuminated areas across the stone rather than appearing only as isolated pinpoints. Other angles reveal warmer orange-red and golden flashes, giving the gemstone a noticeably different personality as it moves through the light.

Ethiopia has become one of the world’s important modern sources of precious opal, producing stones known for diverse patterns and dramatic play-of-color. No two specimens display precisely the same arrangement of spectral color, making each naturally individual.

Natural internal characteristics remain visible and are represented rather than concealed.
