Detailed Product Description
Large Ethiopian Welo Opal — Collector Grade
This is a rare large Ethiopian Welo Opal at 11.06 carats with impressive 19.8 × 15.8 mm spread. Natural opals above 10 carats with strong play-of-colour 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.

Common Questions
Why choose 11+ carat opal?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.
Is this suitable for rings?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.
Why does Ethiopian Welo Opal change when wet?Ethiopian Welo 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.
Is this a good investment?Large, high-quality Ethiopian Welo Opals with strong fire are becoming harder to find. Natural specimens above 10 carats hold value well among collectors and gemstone buyers.
How is the price calculated?This stone is priced at ₹2,500 per carat. At 11.06 carats, total comes to ₹27,650. This rate is for premium quality with visible play-of-colour.
