Ethiopian Welo/Wello Opal is a relatively new find and rapidly gaining popularity. It has some of the most amazing patterns of any Opal, and plays of colour that reflect shades of light seen nowhere else in the natural world.
Mining at Tsehay Mewcha is a highly hazardous occupation indeed, and fatal accidents are very numerous (out of one thousand miners, 80 died in one year) mainly caused by collapsing rocks or falls from the soaring cliffs.
The prices for quality Ethiopian Opal's on the international gem markets are rocketing upwards at a pace seldom seen in the gem world, making this exquisite gift from Earth a great investment gemstone. The price shows no sign of peaking, and is mainly driven by the fact that this is a limited resource. It also happens to be a uniquely beautiful gemstone !
