Smoked Ethiopian Opal 1.30ct • 10x8mm Oval Faceted • Intense Fire & Color Play

Natural Smoked Ethiopian Opal – Dramatic Fire & Depth

This striking natural Ethiopian opal features a smoked (darkened) body tone that dramatically enhances its vivid play-of-color, producing flashes of red, green, orange, and gold across the surface. Expertly faceted in an oval cut, this stone offers far more brilliance and sparkle than a traditional cabochon, making it an exceptional centerpiece for fine or statement jewelry.

The darker body tone creates high contrast, allowing the opal’s fire to appear deeper, richer, and more dynamic under both natural and artificial light.

Why Smoked Opals Are Special

Smoked Ethiopian opals are prized for their enhanced contrast and depth, allowing internal fire patterns to appear sharper and more saturated than in lighter opals. This treatment does not add color—it simply deepens the body tone, revealing spectacular hidden fire already present in the stone.
