Read about the benefits and uses of the beautiful Ethiopian Opal.
AKA: Precious Fire Opal, Welo Opal, Wello Opal; from the Wollo Province in Ethiopia
Minerology: Hyalus Opalinus
Etymology:
Sanskrit: Upala, meaning 'jewel' or 'precious stone'
Greek: Opallius, meaning ' to observe a colour shift'
To the eye: Resinous or pearly, featuring colors like white, yellow, red, brown, green, or gray
Birth Month: October
Astrological Sign: Libra
Some of the opal produced from the Wollo Province has an orange, yellow or reddish body color along with play-of-color. The orange, yellow or reddish body color meets the definition of a fire opal, and the play-of-color meets the definition of a precious opal. Meeting both of these criteria, these opals could be called "precious fire opals." Ironically, these stones are also known as "hydrophane crystals." Hydrophane crystals can absorb water due to the structure of their porous surface. Avoid submerging in water for long periods because this can cause the opal to crack during drying.
