We are famous for Manufacturing and Supplying a wide range of Precious and Semi Precious Gemstones and Ethiopian opal is a semi-precious gemstone which is found very recently in northern Ethiopia. Opal Gemstones have a wonderful play of colors and varied patterns. The fact is opals are not considered minerals or stones. They are formed when the seasonal rains from many centuries leach the silica particles from the sandstone. These particles are carried deeper into the underground fissures and cavities. After the deposited materials are dried the silica spheres are formed into a closely packed lattice. When light enters this microstructure, it creates a rainbow of many colors. Ethiopian Opal Stones are also known as flashy gems.
