Smoked Ethiopian Welo Opal - from rough to cut and polished #opal #antsopalcorner #ethiopianopal

A lot of Ethiopian Welo Opal is smoked to enhance the colours in a similar way to Australian matrix opal is sugar and acid treated to bring out the colours.

I cut and polish Ethiopian opal the same way that I do Australian, it is more about slowly drying the welo out at room temperature as it is hydrophane and extracting the water quickly can result in a less stable stone and has a danger of cracking.

I really think that all all opal has it's place and although welo can require a bit more care, it is beautiful and amazing in it's own rights.
