Miracles Ethiopian Opal Gemstone Beads At Wholesale Prices



Ethiopian Opal which is also known as miracle by god due to its opalescence visible when viewed from different angles. The stone has got fire flashes (opalescence) of Blue, Green, Red and Orange Colors which are visible from different angles of the stone. The opalescence in the stone is due to refraction of light by silica spheres as the stone is made of hydrated silica. The hardness of the stone is 6 on the Mohs Scale while its specific gravity is 2 due to which stone weight is very light as compared to other stones.

Ethiopian Opal is generally being confused with Australian Opal but there is difference between both i.e, Australian Opal is found in the sea beds thus are sedimentary in nature so even if introduced with water nothing happens to the opalescence of the stone While Ethiopian Opal is found in the volcanic areas of the Ethiopia so when exposed in water it becomes more transparent but loses its opalescence thus Ethiopian Opal is never good with water.

Ethiopian Opal is found in two colors i.e, White & Yellow with Opalescence. Due to the less hardness of stone only few shapes can be manufactured in stone, it becomes difficult to manufacture faceted items in the stone so generally only smooth items are being manufactured Like Smooth Oval, Roundelle, Pear, Heart, Nuggets etc.
