Gemstone # OpalEth072
Name: Opal
Locality: Ethiopia
Weight: 0.72 cts
Size: 6.09 mm
Price Per Carat: $80
Price For Stone: $57.60

Cut: Cut Corner Square
Color: Yellow-Orange with "Contra Luz" Color Flash
Clarity: Eye Clean
Cut By Us: Yes (Robert Heath)
Comments: Recently, some very fine Fire Opal gems have been coming out of Ethiopia. This stone has a strong "Contra Luz" effect which is a vibrant multi-color flash that appears like "rainbows" within the gem when it is backlit. The term "Contra Luz" translates to "against the light" in Spanish, and only a very small percentage of Opals show this effect. The quantity of these Ethiopian stones certainly seems to be limited, and fine quality gems are few and far between.
