While most commonly referred to as Wollo, this Ethiopian province can also be spelled/translated as “Welo” or “Wello”. Currently, all spellings are considered valid, although Wollo seems to be the preferred spelling among English speakers. The nation of Ethiopia, in north-eastern Africa also produces some beautiful specimens of volcanic opal. The hydrophane variety known as "chocolate opal (aka "hydrophane fire opal") is found at Yita Ridge, near Mezezo (the woredas, or district of Mafud Mezezo Mojana) in the Amhara Region of the Ethiopian highlands. The "Wello Opal," also known colloquially as "Crystal Fire Opal" is found to the north of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, in the province of Wollo. Opal Color Classification Precious opal is divided into numerous sub-groups depending on its body color, incorporating matrix, size/shape of the areas of color. Thin pieces of precious opal can also be attached to, laminated to, or backed by foreign material forming an opal "doublet," or glued between a clear glass cap and a foreign backing (potch, glass or ironstone) to form a "triplet." These are sometimes referred to as "assembled opals." Both of these last constructions can produce attractive durable gems, but are much less desirable than gems made from solid opal. Opal is typically cut into a cabochon, although highly transparent fire opals can be facetted. Opal's color varieties are classified as: "Black Opal" (black body color) which has three designations from dark to light (Black 1, Black 2, Black 3), "Semi-Black" of "Grey" (dark body color), "Light" (between semi-black and white), "White" (hydrophane opal with very light body), and the rare "pineapple" psuedomorphic opal (ikaite) from White Cliffs in NSW, Australia. General opal classifications are: "Boulder Opal" which is opal on a dark ironstone matrix (typical occurrence: Quilpie, Queensland); "Crystal Opal" which is transparent to semi-transparent black, semi-black or white opal which has a play of color (typical occurrence: South Australia and New South Wales); "Fire Opal" or "Arananjado Opal" which is translucent to transparent, with yellow, orange, or red body color (typical occurrence: Querétaro, Magdalena Jalisco, Mexico); "Contra Luz Opal" which is a precious opal where that only displays a play of color when held up to the light (typical occurrence: Opal Butte, Oregon); "Matrix Opal" or "Mass Opal" which has thin seams of precious opal in an ironstone matrix (typical occurrence: Andamooka, South Australia). Being a hydrated stone of variable composition, opal can have a high water content, and this can lead to breakage from sudden changes in temperature (thermal shock), and potential problems when cleaning the stone with steam or ultrasonic cleaners. Long term storage of opal is more secure if the gems are kept in a sealed bag with a damp piece of cotton to prevent dehydration. Even with precautions, some precious opal is not stable and will crack and "craze" in time.

One Only - Not Drilled

SOLD

Peruvian blue opal is relatively rare and is only found in the Andes mountains near San Patricio, Peru. It is a very translucent stone with color similar to the Caribbean Sea. Depending on how the stone is cut it can be clear, scenic (showing varying degrees of color) or dendritic which has black fern like inclusions. Colors range from blue-green to blue. This is the national stone of Peru and, unfortunately, in recent years dyed stones have been mass marketed by unreputable dealers as Peruvian Blue Opal.
Peruvian opal ranges between 5.5 and 6.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness.
Luster: Vitreous to pearly.
Transparency: Transparent to translucent.
Fracture: Conchoidal.
Streak: White.

Natural Mined Cabochon Ruby JII800-46847798 13.5mm x 11.6mm x 6.3mm 11.3 Carats Madagascar Traditional Heated Clarity Opaque Deep Rich Red $ 40.00 USD	Ruby is the red variety of the mineral corundum, one of the hardest minerals on Earth, of which the sapphire is also a variety. Pure corundum is colorless. Slight traces of elements such as chrome, iron, titanium or vanadium are responsible for the color. These gemstones have excellent hardness. On the Mohs scale their score of 9 is second only to that of the diamond. Only red corundum is entitled to be called ruby, all other colors being classified as sapphires. The close relationship between the ruby and the sapphire has only been known since the beginning of the 19th century. For thousands of years, the ruby has been considered one of the most valuable gemstones on Earth. It is called the 'King Of Gemstones' and has everything a precious stone should have: magnificent color, excellent hardness and outstanding brilliance. In addition to that, it is an extremely rare gemstone especially in its finer qualities.

One of the most versatile of gemstones, tourmaline is available in every color, from colorless to black. You can find every tone from pastel to dark, and even with one or more colors appearing in the same stone. It truly is a wondrous and fascinating stone! Known for centuries, tourmaline first gained popularity when the Dutch began to import it in the early 17th century from Sri Lanka . They gave the gem a Sinhalese name, Turamali, which is believed to mean stone with mixed colors. Tourmaline is actually the name of a group of related mineral species. In gemological practice, individual species names are not used. Instead, all are simply termed tourmaline. Tourmaline commonly comes from Tanzania, Madagascar, Brazil, Australia, Sri Lanka, the U.S., and Russia, plus other countries.

The rubellite is a particularly beautiful gemstone from the colorful family of the tourmalines. Its color shines in the most beautiful nuances from red to shocking pink. Tourmalines are closely related gemstones which have been created by Nature in many different colors. In the trade, as a rule, it is not the case that each individual variety has its own name. Instead, the name tourmaline is used and the color simply added, hence red, green, blue or yellow tourmaline. The exception, however, proves the rule. This also applies to the tourmaline and, in particular, to red and pink specimens. Gemstones in good qualities should as a rule be as free of inclusions as possible, they are looked upon with some favor in the case of the rubellite: indeed it is inclusions that render this stone really interesting from the point of view of the connoisseur. Having said that, they should be subtle, and they must not upset the way in which the light passes through this magnificent gemstone, for that could make it look cloudy or milky.
