Just a fantastic Ethiopian Opal here, polished myself with a full diamond polish up to 100,000 grit.  Many stones you buy online don’t have the best polish.  Diamond polish is expensive and a lot of sellers skimp on the higher grits to save on cost.  But when you see the mirror finish of our stones, the difference will be clear.  

This stone is at least a 4/5 for brightness.  Lots of color from all over the surface of the stone.  Nice variety of color too, with Reds, Greens, Oranges, Cyans, Yellows and even some Blues and Purples.  The great thing about this Opal is that, depending on which angle you view it from, different colors dominate.  From one angle, the stone flashes bright Reds and Oranges, and then from the opposite angle, it flashes bright Greens and Yellows, making it a very diverse Opal.

I took pictures of this Opal in high magnification and full sunlight to give you the best idea of its color play and quality.  As a certified gemologist I can verify that the above description is accurate and   that this Opal/Opals have been tested in the gem lab to verify identity and natural origin.
