Opal
A 2.84 carat Wollo opal cut as a domed oval cabochon, showing a broad flash of emerald green and gold across a semi-translucent crystal body. This exact stone — the one photographed — is what you receive.
Strong color saturation and excellent cut precision; minimal inclusions.

A genuine treasure
I was nervous about buying a gemstone online, but the detailed specs and macro photos matched the stone exactly when it arrived. Couldn't be happier.
Good value
Nice Ethiopian Wollo Opal. Slightly smaller looking than I pictured at this carat weight, but the color makes up for it.
Worth every cent
My jeweler was impressed with the clarity and cut when I brought this in for setting. Will absolutely be back for my next piece.
Gorgeous color and cut
This Ethiopian Wollo Opal is the centerpiece of a custom setting I'm having made — the cut quality is obviously excellent, catches light beautifully from every angle.
