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 on the International gem markets for quality Ethiopian Opal is spiralling upwards at a rate rarely seen in the gemstone world. It is without question a strictly limited resource, and this factor drives the demand, which shows no sign of abating.
