This Welo Opal displays a vibrant play-of-color with dominant flashes of blue, green, and pink. Its distinct honeycomb pattern is a result of the opal's internal silica structure, where light refracts through microscopic silica spheres arranged in a grid-like formation. The variation in sphere size and spacing creates the dynamic patches of color visible on the surface. This unique optical effect makes honeycomb-patterned opals highly sought after among collectors and enthusiasts.
