Large Ethiopian Fire Opal — Collector Grade
This is a rare large Ethiopian Opal at 11.06 carats with impressive 19.8 × 15.8 mm spread. Natural opals above 10 carats with strong play-of-color are uncommon finds. The rainbow fire dances across the entire surface — red, green, blue, orange flashes appear as you move the stone.
Sourced from Welo, Ethiopia. The generous 8.4mm depth captures light beautifully, creating vivid three-dimensional fire visible from all angles. Perfect for statement pendants, collector rings, or those needing higher carat weight for astrological purposes.

Common Questions
Large opals above 10 carats are rare with strong fire. They work well for statement jewellery and for those needing higher Ratti weight as per astrological calculations based on body weight.
Yes, but use protective bezel setting due to the large size. Best for pendants where it stays safe and shows maximum fire. Remove rings during manual work.
Ethiopian opal is porous and absorbs water. The stone may look transparent and lose colour temporarily. Let it dry naturally for 1-2 days and colour returns fully.
Large, high-quality Ethiopian opals with strong fire are becoming harder to find. Natural specimens above 10 carats hold value well among collectors and gemstone buyers.
