The Ethiopian Opal Story:
Why Ethiopian Opals are Extraordinary
Ethiopian opals are among the most spectacular gemstones in the world, discovered relatively recently in the highlands of Ethiopia. Unlike Australian opals, Ethiopian opals are known for their intense play-of-color and transparency.
What Makes AAA+ Grade Special:
-
Exceptional clarity
- Transparent to translucent (not milky)
-
Vivid fire
- Flashes of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple
-
Faceted cut
- This 4x2mm opal is faceted (rare for opals!)
-
High quality
- AAA+ is the highest grade available
-
Natural beauty
- Untreated, genuine Ethiopian opal
The Fire Within: Ethiopian opals display "play-of-color"—a mesmerizing rainbow effect that shifts and dances as you move. Your opal will flash different colors depending on the angle and lighting, creating an ever-changing display of natural beauty.
Bridal Symbolism: Opals symbolize hope, purity, and truth—perfect for a bride embarking on a new journey. The rainbow fire represents the spectrum of emotions and experiences in marriage.

- Keep away from lotions, perfumes, and chemicals
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Wipe gently with soft, dry cloth
- The opal is securely wire-wrapped and won't fall out with normal wear
