Size & Weight
- All gemstones are measured in millimeters (mm).
- Dimensions are listed as length × width × depth, except for round stones which are measured as diameter × depth.
- Always choose gemstones by size, not by weight!
- Different gem varieties have different densities, so carat weight isn’t a reliable indicator of size.
- Note: 1 ct = 0.2 g
| Treatment | Description |
|---|---|
| Natural | This gemstone has zero treatments—no heat, no irradiation, no filling, no stabilisation. It’s simply mined, cut, and polished. |
| Heated | Heating enhances or develops colour and clarity, commonly seen in Sapphire, Ruby, Tanzanite, Topaz, and Zircon. |
| Dyed | This process adds colouring agents to create a richer, more even colour. Traditionally associated with Agate and still used today for certain Onyx and Agate stones. |
| Irradiated | Radiation treatment modifies light absorption, transforming clear stones like Topaz into blue varieties. |
| Coated | A thin metallic film is added to produce the iridescent look found in Mystic or Azotic quartz. |
| Smoked | Foil-wrapping and gentle heating allow smoke to enter the opal, darkening its body colour and boosting play-of-colour. Common in some Ethiopian Black Opals. |
| Stabilised | Resin or polymer is infused into porous gems to improve hardness, density, and colour—essential for fragile stones like Turquoise. |
| Cultured | Human-assisted pearls grown in freshwater or saltwater molluscs. They grow faster and are more reliable, which keeps them affordable. |

Perfect for Jewelry Making
The changing flashes of color make Ethiopian Opal an exciting centerpiece for both traditional and contemporary jewelry. Depending on the individual piece, it can be used for:
- Statement rings
- Elegant pendants
- Handmade necklaces
- Earrings
- Bracelets
- Custom jewelry
- Wire-wrapped designs
- Bezel-set creations
- Artisan jewelry
- Collector and designer pieces
A single Ethiopian Opal can provide multiple colors within the same stone, allowing jewelry designers to coordinate it with different metals and complementary gemstones.
Every Stone Has Its Own Color Story
One of the greatest attractions of Ethiopian Opal is its individuality. The intensity, distribution and combination of play-of-color can vary naturally from one piece to another. Some stones may reveal bright green and blue flashes, while others can show warmer yellow, orange or red tones.
These natural variations make each gemstone unique and ensure that your finished jewelry piece has its own visual identity. Slight differences in pattern, transparency and internal characteristics are part of the natural beauty of the material.
Carefully Cut in Our Own Manufacturing Unit
We cut and finish our gemstones in our own manufacturing unit, allowing us to maintain close attention to shaping, polishing and final presentation. Our skilled artisans have around 20 years of experience working with gemstones and bring extensive practical knowledge to the finishing process.
Each selected Ethiopian Opal is checked by our quality control team to ensure the overall polish, shape, surface and presentation meet our standards before shipment.

Multiple Options to Choose From
