Ethiopian Opal 12.5 ct

     Ethiopian Opal is a captivating gemstone celebrated for its vivid play-of-color and unique formation. Geologically, this opal is primarily found in the Wollo and Shewa regions of Ethiopia, formed within volcanic rock rather than sedimentary deposits like Australian opals. It is a hydrophane opal, meaning it can absorb water and temporarily change transparency or color. With a Mohs hardness of 5.5 to 6.5, Ethiopian Opal requires gentle care but offers stunning visual brilliance with flashes of red, green, blue, and yellow.

     Metaphysically, Ethiopian Opal is believed to be a high-vibration stone that enhances spiritual awareness and emotional clarity. It is associated with the Crown and Third Eye chakras, encouraging intuition, inner vision, and a deeper connection to one's higher self. This gemstone is often used for emotional healing, helping to release past trauma and amplify positive emotions. Many practitioners see it as a powerful tool for transformation, inspiration, and creativity.

     Ethiopian Opal is especially prized for its ability to reflect the inner world of the wearer, making it a popular choice for meditation and introspective practices. Whether worn as jewelry or used in energy work, this opal brings lightness, joy, and dynamic energy into one’s life.
