Indeed, black opal has the peculiarity of rapidly changing appearance depending on the intensity and nature of the light that shines on it. Depending on brightness, one can see multicolored flashes or simply a dark base. The first Ethiopian opals were discovered in the 1990s, notably in the Wollo province. These stones are distinguished by their color diversity and translucency. The black opal, with its dark base highlighting vivid color flashes, is particularly rare and sought after. It presents a dark base, often black or dark brown, which enhances the play of colors on its surface.
