Shewa Crystal Faceted Opals - 5 mm rounds

I'm listing singles and pairs of 5 mm round faceted opals from Ethiopia in listings and auctions now. The stones are faceted from precious crystal opal from the Shewa region of Ethiopia. It is a very clean and clear crystal body which shows face-up play of color and contra luz color play from side and back light. These are perfect for earrings, as the light really shows the color of the crystal and the play of color.
These are light yellow to mid tone amber crystal bodies. These gems are not hydrophane and can be worn wet without fear of changes or cracking. They are all well cut with proper angles for maximum brilliance and color return. The make is excellent and they are very consistent in size and style of cut. The facets are sharp and meet points are well aligned. The polish is good on the facets. There are no inclusions, pits or cracks in these opals and all are guaranteed to please the most discriminating jeweler or collector.
Matching suites of color range scales and matching suites of ring, pendant and earrings may be requested on special order. Please contact me through the site for private auctions and special pricing.
