ETHIOPIAN OPAL ROUGH

VERY DARK BASE

  • OPAL HAS RED BLUE GREEN FALSHED OF COLOR

  • CHANCE PIECE

  • UNWORKED

  • The Stayish black opal mine, active since 2013, is located in the Wollo province of northern Ethiopia. Like the white opal, the black opal is found at the contact zone between the volcanic rock series and the underlying clay-rich layer

  • The black opal is retrieved from flat tunnels up to 15–20 meters long that are dug horizontally into the mountain slope by local villagers. The material generally comes in nodules and chunks 2–5 cm long, but 10 cm pieces have also been retrieved from this deposit

Why are users outbidding themselves?

Automatic Bid icon
Automatic Bid

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a person is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on behalf of the bidder, incrementally increasing the bid up to the maximum to maintain their position as the highest bidder.

When there is an icon indicating 'Automatic Bid', it means our system is actively placing bids for the bidder based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if bidders are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the bidders maximum limit.

Audit

The Opal Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
