NEW OPAL FROM ETHIOPIA

Below is a new group of opal specimens from Ethiopia. This new location was discovered about 7years ago and is slowly coming to the marketplace. This year at Tucson there were few dealers selling this material. Fortunately, I had earlier made a connection to THE major miner/exporter of Ethiopian opal. After seeing all of the other dealers in Tucson, I was relieved to discover that my source had the best quality opal. The opals below are all I have available. Every one has exceptional internal fire or play of colors and are all are even more impressive when seen in person.

#40006, Opal (Precious Opal), Menz Gishe District, Ethiopia (t) $1650		#39999, Opal (Precious Opal), Menz Gishe District, Ethiopia (t) $1200
