Description

 Captivating Ethiopian Opal Specimen - Pristine Display from Ethiopia

Product Description:

Introducing the enchanting Ethiopian Opal Specimen, beautifully presented in a 2" X 2" X 2" display, sourced directly from the opal-rich fields of Ethiopia. This specimen not only dazzles with its kaleidoscope of colors but also intrigues with its unique hydrophane properties.

  • Product Name: Ethiopian Opal
  • Locality: Ethiopia
  • Display: Encased in a 2" X 2" X 2" display
  • Dimensions: 0.88" x 0.44" (22.35 mm x 11.18 mm)
  • Weight: 3.4 grams (17 carats)

Hydrophane opal is known for its ability to absorb water, which can enhance its color and clarity temporarily. However, it’s crucial to handle these gems with care to avoid prolonged exposure to liquids or direct sunlight, which can damage the stone or lead to natural cracking.

Highlights of this Specimen:

  • Crystal Structure: Exhibits a vivid play-of-color typical of high-quality opal.
  • Hardness: Opals are generally softer, with a Mohs hardness of 5.5-6.5, making them delicate treasures.
  • Rarity and Care: Ethiopian opals are prized for their color diversity and patterns. Special care instructions include avoiding direct sunlight and not immersing the stone in liquids to prevent damage.

This opal is a mesmerizing addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the geological beauty of Ethiopian minerals. It comes with a display-ready ID card that provides the specimen’s name and locality.
