In precious opal, tiny silica spheres packed in orderly rows split light into flashes of spectral color, an effect known as play-of-color. Most opal today comes from Australia and Ethiopia. Ethiopian opal is often hydrophane, meaning it can absorb water and temporarily change in appearance, so it is best kept away from liquids and oils.

In white light the body reads as a deep brownish black under a high-gloss polish, and the original grain is still legible across the dome as fine parallel lines and a network of cellular texture. Tilted toward the light, small pinpoints of red, orange and violet play-of-color spark along the central band where the silica settled into an ordered structure, scattered rather than continuous, and all the brighter for sitting against so dark a background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay-of-color comes from light diffracting through microscopic silica spheres stacked in a regular grid.

In opalized wood the two states sit side by side, and that contrast is exactly what gives this piece its character. Indonesia is a well-known source of opalized and silicified wood, much of it from Java and Sumatra, where volcanic ash buried standing forests. The stone is untreated. Opal sits around 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale and prefers gentle handling, so a pendant or a protected setting suits it better than daily knocks.

Ethiopia's Welo deposits, worked since 2008, supply most of the white opal seen in the trade today. The stone is untreated. Being hydrophane it can absorb water and change appearance temporarily, so keep it dry. The elongated shape suits an east-west ring setting or a pendant, allowing for a hardness of 5.5 to 6.5.

The stone is from Ethiopia and is untreated. Welo opal is hydrophane and takes on water, so it should be kept dry and away from ultrasonic cleaning. An 11x8mm oval is a standard calibrated size, which makes setting straightforward, and opal's 5.5 to 6.5 hardness favors a design that protects the edges. Opal is the October birthstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Natural Ethiopian opal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.82ct\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11x8mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhenomenon:\u003c\/strong\u003e Play-of-color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oval cabochon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClarity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Semi-transparent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Untreated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ethiopia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5.5-6.5 (Mohs)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural Ethiopian opal, 11x8mm oval cabochon, sold loose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lapis Magica","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55693711278405,"sku":"op413","price":31.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/8576\/8517\/files\/natural-ethiopian-opal-1.82ct-oval-cabochon.jpg?v=1780784815"},{"product_id":"ethiopian-opal-0-82ct-9x7mm-oval-cabochon","title":"Natural Ethiopian Opal 0.82ct 9x7mm Oval Cabochon #1","description":"\u003cp\u003eA crystal-type Ethiopian opal, transparent enough that the dark background shows straight through the stone and lends it a deep blue-gray appearance. Against that clear body the play-of-color is concentrated rather than spread: a single bright patch of yellow-green and gold sits in the upper left of the dome, sharp-edged and vivid, with a few smaller green and orange sparks trailing below it. The rest of the stone stays clean and glassy, which makes the one lit area read all the more strongly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay-of-color depends on the internal order of the opal. Where silica spheres have settled into a regular array, light diffracts and color appears; where they have not, the material stays transparent and colorless. This stone shows both states clearly within a single dome. From Ethiopia, untreated, and hydrophane, so it may briefly shift in transparency if it takes up water and should be kept away from soaking and ultrasonic cleaners. The 9x7mm calibrated oval sets easily, keeping opal's 5.5 to 6.5 hardness in mind.
