The Discovery of Ethiopian Opals

Let's start with the story behind these beauties. Ethiopian opals weren't really on anyone's radar until the early 1990s when something amazing happened in the Wollo Province of Ethiopia. Miners, on the hunt for something else entirely, stumbled upon these hidden treasures. Talk about a happy accident! Ethiopian opals burst onto the scene with their incredible play of colors and have been mesmerizing us ever since.

What Makes Ethiopian Opals Stand Out?

Now, you might be wondering what sets these opals apart from the rest. Well, it's all about the colors!

Unlike opals from other places, which usually have one dominant color, Ethiopian opals are like a colorful kaleidoscope. They've got fiery reds, dazzling blues, enchanting greens, and a whole spectrum of hues that seem to change with every angle. It's like Mother Nature's own light show!

The Ethiopian Opal Earrings we just restocked are the most gorgeous cobalt blue that fire emerald green with sparks of red. They are truly something special!

These gems have a unique origin too – they form in volcanic rock, which gives them their distinct character. They're known for their translucency, allowing light to pass through and create those mesmerizing color flashes. It's like holding a tiny piece of magic in your hand!
