Discover the magic of nature in this unique black opal ring from Ethiopia. This extraordinary gemstone with a deep, black color and mesmerizing opalism delights with its mysterious beauty. Black opal from Ethiopia is a variety of anhydrous silica, a mineral with the chemical formula SiO2. It occurs in an amorphous form, which means it lacks an ordered crystal structure. It is characterized by Mohs hardness from 5.5 to 6.5 and glass or pearl luster. Ethiopian black opal is brittle and may crack upon impact or excessive pressure. It comes from the Wollo province in Ethiopia, where it is extracted from volcanic rocks.
The black color of opal is caused by the presence of microscopic inclusions of carbon, dust and other materials in its structure. These inclusions absorb light, giving the opal its characteristic black color. Black opal from Ethiopia is famous for its Play-of-Colour effect. This effect causes different colors such as blue, green, purple and red to appear when the opal is viewed from different angles. Play-of-Color is caused by the interference of light in the structure of opal. A silver ring with an adjustable band, decorated with black opal from Ethiopia, is a unique and elegant piece of jewelry. Opal delights with its deep color and mesmerizing opalism, and the adjustable band makes the ring fit perfectly to any finger. A black opal ring from Ethiopia is the perfect gift for a special person, as well as for anyone who appreciates the beauty of nature and believes in the power of precious stones.
