The recent discovery of fine natural opal near Delanta in the Welo Province of Ethiopia is producing very stable jewelry grade opal with bright color-play in red, green, blue, and orange colors often in beautiful harlequin patterns. These high quality natural opals are popularly known as Welo Opals. The Welo opal is completely natural and has proven to be just as hard and stable as fine Brazilian opal, and just as hard and stable as the opals used in fine Australian opal jewelry. The body color of the Welo opal ranges from golden-brown to white to colorless to blue, and the transparency varies from translucent to crystal clear. The transparent Welo opals with color play are sometimes called jelly opal gemstones. The Transparent to semi-transparent Welo opals with fine color play are also sometimes called crystal opal gemstones. Both have beautiful flashes of color inside. These Welo opals tend to absorb water and change their transparency and colors if placed in water, and then they recover their original play of color and transparency after being removed from the water and drying out. Natural opals with this unusual behaviour are known as hydrophane opal. We have these natural Welo opals set into fine Welo opal necklaces, jelly & crystal opal earrings, and wonderful crystal opal necklaces!
We also have several different varieties of natural agate jewelry in stock including natural lace agate jewelry and natural fire agate jewelry available in handcrafted rings, pendants, necklaces and bracelets.
