Ethiopian opals formed in ancient volcanic environments when silica-rich water moved through porous volcanic rock. Over time, tiny silica spheres accumulated in the rock's cavities. When those spheres are arranged just right, they diffract light and produce the shifting spectral colors we call play-of-color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes a really good opal different is the amount of color, which colors are present, and how easily you can see them. This one has an unusually broad range, including harder-to-find red and orange flashes, mixed with strong greens and blues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silverwork was intentionally kept fairly clean around the stone when Ed worked this one. There’s enough detail to give the pendant some character, but the opal is absolutely the reason for this piece. It’s a large elongated cabochon with a lot of visible play-of-color, and there really wasn't any reason to distract from that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural opal is also one of those materials where you simply can't make another one exactly like it.
