Ethiopian Opal Jewelry
The Ethiopian Opal is volcanic in nature and found along the lines of where many ancient volcanoes were once active as well as beaches. One of the many different kinds of opal and gem found in the Welo district of Ethiopia, this opal is highly resistant to cracking or damage.
Also known as the hydrophane opal the Ethiopian Opal is known for it's ablity to absorb water and change from opaque or semi-translucent to translucent or transparent depending on the angle you are viewing it at. Sometimes the stone can even appear to be gray in nature or take many different brightly colored overtones.
Sometimes this highlights the color play – others will just become transparent or opaque, with no color when hydrated. Hydrophane opals vary widely from source to source, so it is important to learn the characteristics of gems from a particular mine rather than consider all hydrophane opals to be alike in both looks and properties.
Although this opal is very durable, you should never use a steamer or ultrasonic cleaner for your Ethiopian Opal jewelry. Also make sure to keep away from harsh cleaning agents or jewelry perfumes that can adversely affect your colorful stone.
