Welo opal cabochon set from Ethiopia with a strong mix of play-of-color, including electric blue, green, orange, and red flashes across multiple body tones. The set includes a nice range of shapes and patterns, from broad rolling color to tighter mosaic-style fire.
Welo opal is prized for its hydrophane nature, meaning it can temporarily absorb moisture and shift in appearance, which is a well-known characteristic of material from this deposit. A matched group like this works well for custom jewelry projects or as a study set showing how differently opal can present color in each stone.
