Welo Black Opal Pendant in Sterling Silver *Video*

For sale is a Black Welo Opal pendant set in silver. This small opal is black to dark brown-black in color with wonderful flashes of cherry red and lime green fire. You will also see orange, yellow and even occasional purple fire in bright sunlight. This is a true, natural, earth-mined black opal. This kind of opal used to be plentiful but are now harder to find due to political instability in Ethiopia where they are mined.

The opal is translucent black to dark coffee brown with vivid flashes of fire that appear under the surface of the stone. Like most black opals, this opal appears darker (black) with more subtle fire in dim light. In sunlight or bright indoor light the opal appears lighter in color (dark brown), and flashes with eye-grabbing fire. 

The opal is securely prong-set in a basket setting. You can see the back of the opal through the setting.
