Natural Ethiopian Black Opal – 6x8mm Oval Cabochon, AAA Grade

Discover the rare beauty of this Natural Ethiopian Black Opal, precision-cut into a 6x8mm oval cabochon. This AAA-grade stone features a deep, dark body tone that makes its play of color truly pop — shifting flashes of green, blue, and red dance across the surface as the stone catches the light.

Sourced from the world-famous Welo opal mines in Ethiopia, this genuine, untreated opal is ideal for jewelers, designers, and collectors looking to create one-of-a-kind rings, pendants, earrings, or custom fine jewelry pieces. Because opal is a natural gemstone, every stone has its own unique fire pattern — the one you receive will be exactly as pictured, with no two stones ever alike.
