Celestial Glow: 6.5mm Ethiopian Welo Opal Round Cabochon
Experience the ethereal beauty of a natural Ethiopian Welo Opal. This 0.63ct gemstone is a true "fire opal," capturing a kaleidoscope of shifting colors—from neon greens and soft yellows to flashes of sunset orange—set against a dreamy, translucent body.
The Classic Round Cabochon
The smooth, domed cabochon cut is the traditional choice for opals, designed specifically to maximize the stone's famous "play-of-color."
Fluid Movement: As the stone catches the light, the internal fire rolls across the surface in a mesmerizing dance.
Calibrated Size: At 6.5mm, this stone is a standard calibrated size, making it incredibly easy to fit into pre-made jewelry settings without the need for custom work.

Why This Opal?
A Designer’s Favorite: The 6.5mm round is the "Goldilocks" size—significant enough to stand alone in a minimalist solitaire ring, yet perfect for a matching set of statement earrings.
Natural Brilliance: Unlike synthetic opals, this stone features organic color patterns that are unique to every gem. No two are exactly alike.
Ethical Beauty: Sourced from the volcanic ridges of the Welo region, these opals are celebrated for their high quality and vibrant "neon" fire.1
Care for Your Opal
Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, meaning they have a unique ability to absorb water. To keep your gem glowing for a lifetime:
Avoid wearing your opal while swimming, showering, or using lotions/perfumes.
Clean only with a soft, dry cloth.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
