Multicolor OPAL rough from Welo Desert of Ethiopia, near Gondar

WELO Top Gem 7 ct Parcel of 1 stone L5

7 carats, this stone is pure crystal full of green, blue and red multicolor fire. Every color and hue in the rainbow is found here. Mauve, purples, teal blues, yellows, oranges, so much red it will amaze you. Seldom seen shades are here in broad bright sheets of color.

22 mm x 15 mm x 4 mm.  This piece has a rainbow broadflash color structure. There are two main patterns here. One is the flagstone/broadflash consisting of huge sheets of color which meet and match and overlay one another in a dazzling display of broadflash 3 D colors. This is surrounded and supported by red flashfire which fills the entire stone face.

Super Bright Multicolor Gemstone of extraordinary quality. Australian crystal with this color would sell for several thousand dollars per carat. Body tone is N9, a beautiful white crystal opal full of blazing fire.

It rates a 4,5 on the brilliance scale and it's easy on the eye, a real pleasure to look at. Many sellers would claim Br5 for this opal and the brightest part of the broadflash meets that standard. But overall it doesn't show such total brilliance, so a 4.5 is a conservative estimate for this opal's brilliance, on a scale of 1 to 5.

The color structure is generally a 3-D Broadflash. It shows all the colors of the spectrum, rolling through the rainbow as the opal moves. Many other patterns also appear, including geometric patterns near to harlequin. Red is the predominant and strongest color with orange right behind. Greens, yellows, violet and blues all display their primary hues and many shades between.
