SPECTACULAR Rainbow striped Opal cabochon

Absolutely spectacular Ethiopian Welo opal cab.

This is a truly unique one of a kind gemstone in color and pattern, and also in color saturation. As you can see in the photos, the bright colors appear in bands across the length of this gem, like a rainbow. Would make a stunning pendant or centerpiece for any jewelry or collection. Opals are becoming more and more sought after and are currently great, affordable investment gems- but you have to act at the right time to gain when the prices rise significantly, and now is the time to buy!
