Here is a bit about our Ethiopian opal... Ethiopian opal is mined in the Shewa district of Ethiopia...incredibly harsh and unforgiving conditions make even locating this material nearly impossible. This type of opal forms in volcanic rhyolite ash that has filled with opal eons ago. Only recently discovered, this variety is often called "mahogany" opal from the nice even brownish base color. Like most opal varieties, it comes in various hardnesses and transluscency from opaque to crystal clear. A skilled cutter could easily fashion this stone into a piece worth lots of money and with great investment value. There is a beautiful flame pattern of brilliant metallic technicolor fire when the piece is moved...especially in bright sunlight. This high grade material exhibits many colors very rarely seen and represents the highest grade available anywhere. We have a very unique arrangement with the government of Ethiopia that allows us to purchase the highest quality material with a chain of control that positively guarantees that this is not conflict or "squatted" material like most all of the Ethiopian opal found online elsewhere. YOU SHOULD ALWAYS BUY MINERALS AND GEMSTONES FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES THAT INCLUDE PROOF THAT THE MATERIAL IS NOT BEING SOLD TO FINANCE CIVIL OR HUMANITARIAN UNREST. Each parcel we receive is sealed and signed by a representative of the Ethiopian Department of Minerals and Energy. WE HAVE LOTS OF VARIED TYPES OF THIS MATERIAL INCLUDING FINISHED STONES, FACETED CRYSTAL CLEAR STONES and UNIQUE OR UNUSUAL SPECIMENS and can supply this material safely and consistently for any interested individual. Kilos, 1/2 kilos and 1/4 kilos of this very high grade opal are available starting at only $695 (or less) including SH (contact us for further details)!

You will not find this quality of material anywhere else on the internet market. It is widely agreed that whenever buying opal, you should purchase the best quality you can afford as it will be the best investment and we could not agree more. As with all of our offerings, this material is absolutely the best value money can buy currently at unbeatable reasonable prices AND with a ***MONEY BACK GUARANTEE*** if you are dissatisfied. Simply contact us and we will give you instructions and further details on refunds*. PLEASE READ THIS PART...If you are buying on this site, you know that the quality of material and service available here far exceeds that found anywhere else on any other auction site, period. With that assurance, we also ask that all bidders on our auctions understand that payment is expected to be completed or addressed within 24 hours of item(s) ending. If you do not feel that you can comply with this simple request, please contact us before bidding and we will discuss other options. DO NOT BID IF YOU DO NOT INTEND TO PAY FOR YOUR WINS! (***SEE NOTE BELOW***)  WE ALSO ONLY ACCEPT PAYPAL, CHECK OR MONEY ORDER OR WIRE TRANSFERS WE DO NOT ACCEPT CREDIT CARDS DIRECTLY (JUST VIA PAYPAL) EMAIL US WITH ANY QUESTIONS  Thanks for being a part of the best and most elite marketplace of opal anywhere online.

***This piece is one of a huge NEW shipment of super select top quality Ethiopian opal we have just received DIRECT from the Ethiopian Government  We cut out the middlemen to save you money and guarantee the highest quality material without it having been picked over like most other opal sold online!  This is TRUE virgin material and the highest grade on the market today*** 

Here is a great bargain if you are looking for superb quality at an affordable price.  This is a nice precious Ethiopian water clear crystal opal that has been well-cut into a great emerald octagon with a nice scissors (barion) style base (pavilion).  This stone is flawless and totally stable and it has a nice multicolor milder fire that shows in any lighting.  It also has a very unusual blue-green "glow" in most lighting situations. Interestingly, this particular opal seems to show its color better in less light and is much more "modest" in brightest lighting so it would be great for a practical piece of regular-wear jewelry.  It weighs about 2.6ct and measures about 12mmx7.5mmx6mm.  This one is priced very low at only $448...Hurry! Thanks...ExoticOpal
