Description Colorful nodule of Precious Opal from the volcanic deposits at Mezezo. It's difficult to determine whether this should be a Black Opal or a White Opal as it is somewhere in the middle. The nodule has been polished to show the pinkish nodule with many bright green and red areas of internal fire (play of colors).
Size 20 x 16 x 9 mm.
Locality near Mezezo, Shewa Plateau, Amhara, Ethiopia
Collection John Betts - Fine Minerals
