Re: Opal novice, waving hello from the Monterey Peninsula

Re: Opal novice, waving hello from the Monterey Peninsula
PinkDiamond - Thanks for the welcome! I purchased a large (almost 11 carat) Welo opal... a fat oval cabochon. I assume it's from Ethiopia, but was shipped from Indonesia. Surprises with big colors in the right light and didn't break the bank! It's very sedate when it's flashing. Not bad for a first ...
