3.92 Carats | Natural Ethiopian Opal - Ethiopia

A substantial 3.92-carat natural Ethiopian opal distinguished by its dark body appearance and expansive flashes of electric green play-of-color. Across changing angles, the gemstone also reveals areas of golden yellow, fiery orange, blue and subtle red, creating dramatic contrast against its deeper background.

The stone is fashioned as a polished oval cabochon, allowing its broad areas of color to move across the surface as the viewing angle changes. Particularly notable is the extensive green display, which covers a significant portion of the face rather than appearing only as isolated flashes.

At nearly 4 carats, this is a substantial opal with the presence required for a statement jewelry design while also standing on its own as a collector gemstone. Its naturally occurring internal characteristics remain visible and are represented rather than concealed.

Ethiopia has emerged as an important modern source of precious opal, producing gemstones celebrated for their remarkable variety of color and constantly changing optical appearance. Each stone presents an individual arrangement of play-of-color that cannot be duplicated.
