A calibrated 9x7mm Ethiopian opal oval cabochon on the heavier end at 1.49ct, meaning a taller dome and more depth to the play-of-color. The cream-white semi-transparent body glows with vivid warm play-of-color - rich orange and red fire dominates across most of the face, with green patches adding freshness and depth. The strong color coverage with high brightness makes this one of the more spectacular pieces in the 9x7mm size range.
From the Welo region of Ethiopia, natural and untreated. The 8.9x7.1mm dimensions fit standard 9x7mm oval settings. An ideal stone for a main ring or pendant setting where a bold, eye-catching fire display is the goal.
