10k White Gold Black Ethiopian Welo Opal Ring **VIDEO**

For sale is a 10k white gold ring with a natural black Ethiopian Welo opal. Thisl opal was mined in the Wollo province of Ethiopia.  These opals have become rare and increasingly valuable because the Ethiopian mines have been closed. The semi-translucent opal appears inky black in dim light, and in bright light and sunlight the opal flashes with an infinity of ever-changing colors.  The array of colors makes this ring fascinating to look at as you move it in the light.  You will see cherry red, neon green, tangerine and yellow fire as you move the opal in the light.  The opal is secure in a hand-crafted bezel setting.  The ring has a lovely marquise shaped gold frame with rays forming a halo around the opal. 

**The opal has an interior inclusion that appears like a "crackle" line.  The inclusion does not read the exterior of the stone.  It is hard to see but please view the video.
