Formed within the ancient volcanic sediments of Ethiopia, this opal is a captivating gemstone renowned for its vibrant play of color. Opals are composed of microscopic silica spheres, arranged in a precise grid-like pattern, which diffract light to create a mesmerizing spectrum of colors. This phenomenon, known as 'play-of-color,' is what gives opal its distinctive and enchanting appearance. Ethiopian Opals, particularly prized for their intense and varied hues, range from fiery reds and oranges to tranquil blues and greens, often displaying multiple colors within a single stone.
