Natural Ethiopian Welo Opal Cabochon – 15.7ct Pear Shape Multicolor Harlequin Play-of-Color | 22.1x16.3mm Loose Gemstone for Jewelry Making
This 15.7 carat Welo opal cabochon is a pear-shaped cab measuring 22.1 x 16.3 x 9.0mm, with a scattered, confetti-like play-of-color across the face. Green and orange patches sit alongside pops of red and electric blue/turquoise, giving it a harlequin-style pattern rather than one dominant flash — every angle reveals a slightly different mix of color.
The body tone is a soft gray-white, translucent enough to let the colors glow without washing them out. Good depth at 9mm makes this a sturdy stone for setting in a ring or pendant.
Sourced from the Welo (Wollo) region of Ethiopia. Stone is natural and untreated.
