Tazma Ethiopian Opal™ 8x6mm Oval Cabochon 0.65ct

Tazma Ethiopian Opal™ minimum 0.65ct 8x6mm oval cabochon. The gemstone was mined in Ethiopia and cut in India.

As the Queen of Sheba made her famous journey to visit King Solomon, she gifted him with many objects from her homeland, including spices, incense, gold, precious jewels and quite possibly honey. Considered liquid gold at the time, honey was one of the most important commodities and remains so today. A newer discovery in 2008 in Ethiopia’s Welo District introduced the world to another of the country’s most treasured resources: precious, play-of-color opal.

From the Ethiopian words meaning wild honey, the indulgently rich color of Ethiopian honey is memorialized in our exclusive Tazma Ethiopian Opal™. These decadent opal gems boast all natural, unenhanced color and represent a scant one to two percent of total Ethiopian opal production. As wild as the rugged region they hail from, we invite you to discover the luxurious beauty of Tazma Ethiopian Opal™ today!
