Opal Cabochons (Ethiopian Welo)

Ethiopian Welo Opal Cabochons for jewellery making

Gorgeous Ethiopian Opal cabochons - these will look amazing when properly set into jewellery, or inlaid into woodwork.

There is a wide variety of base colour in these opals - some are close to transparent, most are an orange shade, and some are darker.

These cabochons are sold singly, but we do offer discounts for bulk purchases.

Ethiopian Welo Opals typically have a stunning bright fire, in a wide range of colours - blues, greens, oranges, reds and aqua colours are common. We have tried to show a large amount of these cabochons in our photographs, in order to show the variations in size and colours.

Welo Opals are hydrophane, which means they can absorb water and other liquids - this can cause cracking or lessen/remove the play of colour of the opal.

Care should be taken to instruct your clients to remove Welo opal jewellery before bathing, washing dishes, or going swimming etc.
