The body tone in these is clear, which tends to let the spectral flashes read with strong contrast and makes them versatile for a range of metal colors and settings. One practical consideration: Ethiopian opals are hydrophane, meaning they can absorb liquids, so prolonged exposure to water, oils, or ultrasonic cleaners should be avoided - this is a care and handling note worth passing along to end clients.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem Enthusiast","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47910007799995,"sku":"OP486","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/8214\/1627\/files\/ethiopian-rose-cut-oval-welo-opal-2ct-sold-as-lot-ethiopia-op486-5504005.jpg?v=1780436530","url":"https:\/\/gementhusiast.shop\/products\/ethiopian-rose-cut-oval-welo-opal-2ct-53481","provider":"Gem Enthusiast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
