At first glance, the Ethiopian Welo Opal looks like something created in a lab.
The dazzling gem radiates neon colors that seem almost too vibrant to be naturally occurring.
When rotated, the stone sets off a firework-like display of these hues.
This opal is relatively new in the commercial gem world.
Sites like Treasurion alsosell the loose gemstonefor upwards of a thousand dollars.
