Ethiopian Welo Opal in Matrix | Orange–golden opal | Rare Museum-Quality Metaphysical Specimen | Metta-Blessed™
This Ethiopian Welo opal shimmers with a living spectrum of fire — flashes of green, blue, orange and crimson glowing across a golden translucent body.
Preserved within its natural matrix, the specimen carries the raw presence of the Earth itself.
Its play-of-colour shifts with every movement, making it a radiant display piece, tool, altar stone, or collector’s treasure.
This opal is a powerful transformation stone:
• Solar, fiery, and creative energy
• Strong link to the sacral & solar plexus chakras
• Great for vitality, joy, and manifestation
Ritually cleansed and infused with Metta-Blessed™ intention, this piece is offered as both a museum-quality specimen and a metaphysical ally for meditation, altar practice, and sacred space.
Ethical & Environmental Sourcing
This opal has been ethically sourced from waste by-products of the gem-cutting industry. When larger gem-quality opals are cut down for jewellery, smaller fragments and chips are often discarded. Rather than being lost, these fragments are now reclaimed, curated, and repurposed. By choosing this specimen, you are directly supporting a more sustainable, environmentally conscious approach to the gem trade — giving new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste.
About Ethiopian Hydrophane Opal
Ethiopian Welo opals are known as hydrophane opals — meaning they can naturally absorb water. When wet, they may become more transparent and the fire can soften, but as the stone dries, its colours return even brighter. This living quality makes Ethiopian opals feel almost alive, embodying the flow of change and transformation. It also connects them to the element of water, making them especially powerful for emotional healing, purification, and adaptability.
Because of this unique property, hydrophane opals should be treated with care — keep them away from harsh chemicals, avoid sudden heat changes, and store them in a stable environment.
