Natural Ethiopian Opal Lot — Mixed Colors

This lot brings together natural Ethiopian opal in a mix of colors, ranging from soft, milky whites to warm honey and orange tones, with several stones showing the lively flashes of color that make Ethiopian opal so popular. Buying opal as a mixed lot gives designers room to choose and match stones by color and character, rather than committing to a single piece.

Ethiopian opal has become one of the most sought-after sources of opal in recent years, valued for its bright body colors and vivid play of color, often at a friendlier price than traditional opal origins. It suits cabochon-style settings, pendants, earrings, and statement rings.

Opal is softer than sapphire or ruby, at roughly 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, and Ethiopian opal is typically hydrophane, meaning it can absorb water. Best practice is to avoid soaking it, protect it from hard knocks and sudden temperature changes, and favor protective settings such as pendants and earrings, or rings worn with care.

• Type: Natural Opal (Ethiopian)

• Form: Lot / Parcel

• Color: Mixed (white, honey, orange, with play of color)

• Origin: Ethiopia
