The name Chocolate Opal is used for Ethiopian opals with a brownish, caramel to chocolate-like base tone. This piece features a polished opal “window” that beautifully reveals the internal play of color, while the lighter natural edge and matrix emphasize the original natural character of the stone. Fine lines, color transitions and internal structures are a natural part of opal and make every piece unique.
