Frequently asked questions
Are your opals genuine?
Yes. We deal exclusively in 100% natural Ethiopian opal — primarily Welo crystal, black, fire and boulder opal. Every stone is described accurately by type, weight and colour play.
How is pricing handled?
Some stones carry a listed price; rarer pieces are "price on request". Either way, you add stones to your selection and send an enquiry, and we confirm the final price and shipping quote by email.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes — we ship insured and tracked from Addis Ababa, with full export documentation. Shipping cost depends on destination and value, quoted per order.
Can I order in volume / wholesale?
Absolutely. We supply jewellers, wholesalers and lapidaries with volume pricing. Mention your quantities in your enquiry.
How do I care for Ethiopian opal?
Welo opal is hydrophane — keep stones away from prolonged water, oils and heat, and store them safely. We include care guidance with every order.
