Thank you BinoX!  I thought you would really like it.  I couldn't capture the textures present in the play-of-color with a digital camera, and like you said when you shift the stone the colors come alive.

Thanks for posting the review!

Received the opal this morning...

It's fantasitc, if you think the pictures look nice then you'd be amazed at how it looks up close...

The 3 pictures give you a faily good idea, but even the slightest movement brings out an amazing array of colour

Thank you BinoX!!!!

Please, after you have received this stone come back to the thread and tell people that I was telling the truth and the pictures did not show in any fashion just how beautiful this gemstone is!

Ethiopian Welo opal represents the best value in the opal market today.  You can afford truly fabulous play-of-color that would be astronomically expensive in a similar Australian opal of comparable size.  Melanie and I were especially proud to find this wonderful supply of striking faceted opal.  This particular stone is a pear shape and weighs 1.68 carats, and the dimensions are 9.96 x 7.94 x 5.59mm deep.



This opal shows virtually every color of the rainbow depending upon its orientation and the lighting.  You will see intense, vivid blue, violet, yellow, orange, red, and green.  The textures and patterns of color and mesmerizing.  This is NOT your run-of-the-mill opal.  When you hold this stone in your hand and experience the kaleidoscope of colors churning inside the stone you will be breathless. 



Every stone that we sell comes with a 100% money-back guarantee.  I am so very certain that when you have this stone you will love and cherish it and it will become a treasured part of your collection that I do not hesitate to make such a guarantee. 



This Ethiopian opal is 100% natural and untreated.  It has not been smoke-treated, or sugar-treated, or fissure-filled.  It has been mined from the earth and cut and polished only.  As a GIA Graduate Gemologist I have the laboratory training and the in-field experience at the world's largest gemstone markets to guarantee that this gemstone has not been treated.

This auction is only 12 hours long so if you want this gemstone please bid right away.  If you have any questions send me a note at [email protected] and I will get back to you right away. 

The starting bid on this magnificent gemstone is 16BTC and the increment is 1BTC.
