big honeycomb welo opal pendant in 18k gold

Gorgeous, large honeycomb welo opal pendant. Genuine, untreated and earth-mined in Ethiopia.
The color pattern is called 'honeycomb' and is the most priced and rare color pattern for welo opals. The color rolls all the way across the surface in small uniform cells. All colors from red, orange, yellow and green are present and so bright they can even be seen indoors.

• overall 33.5mm (1.31 inches) long pendant including the bail
• genuine welo opal from Ethiopia, 21.5x15mm big, weighing 11.0 carats
• solid 18k gold setting (NOT gold plated or gold filled)
• 14k gold plated chain in the length of your choice

The gemstone has been cut into a beautiful high domed oval cabochon with a orange-golden base color. Safely set in a minimalist bezel setting, made from 18k solid gold. The lush gold compliments this truly one of a kind opal perfectly.

I purchased this gemstone at a local gem show from the mine owner directly. It is a small family operated business with sustainable mining methods and fair working conditions.

Great as an anniversary gift for your wife, or that special person in your life.
