Unlike Australian opals, Ethiopian material is hydrophane, meaning it can absorb water and temporarily shift in transparency or color play, which is worth keeping in mind during fabrication - avoid prolonged soaking and ultrasonic cleaning. Designers are drawn to these stones for their organic movement and the way a rose cut, with its flat back and faceted dome, lets light travel through the body while still capturing that rolling spectral shift.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem Enthusiast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48128744816827,"sku":"OP487","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/8214\/1627\/files\/il_fullxfull.8293699770_8v3e.jpg?v=1784918902","url":"https:\/\/gementhusiast.shop\/products\/ethiopian-opal-rose-cut-welo-opal-50655","provider":"Gem Enthusiast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
