The Fang 18.21 ct Ethiopian Welo Opal
- SKU
- Dimensions (mm)
- 38.26 x 16.21 x 8.54mm
- Weight (cts)
- 18.21
- Type
- Cabochon
- Colours
-
- this interesting fang-shaped Welo opal is a combination of cabochon and carving. The long concave arc towards the narrower tip of this stone had to be carved to preserve the natural shape of the stone
- red, orange, green, & yellow colors with a hint of blue and purple
- broadflash pattern
- 3.5/5 brightness
- slightly milky body color
- flat back but the stone is undercut along the concave edge approaching the tip, and will require skill to set
- I cut all my own stones, with each one being a labor of love
- My stones have a superb polish, with a smooth, continuous finish with no scratches or flat spots (note how smoothly the reflection of the light source moves over the opal's surface in the video)
- I don't cut for mass production, but rather to bring out the full beauty of each individual piece of rough opal
- photos and videos are taken under a low-voltage 50W MR-16 halogen light

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.
When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.
