Raw Ethiopian Opal

These Raw Ethiopian Opals feature natural flashes of color hidden within their earthy, unpolished exteriors. Each piece is unique, with potential flashes of green, blue, orange, yellow, and red that reveal themselves as the stone catches the light.

These opals are offered in their natural rough state, with some pieces retaining host-rock matrix, earthy surface residue, and natural mineral staining. Their untouched appearance gives each opal an organic character and makes them especially appealing to collectors, lapidary artists, and those who appreciate gemstones in their natural form.

Available in five weight ranges, these rough Ethiopian Opals are perfect for mineral collections, jewelry making projects, lapidary work, or spiritual practices.
