Chocolate Opal is also known as Ethiopian Opal due to the fact that it is only excavated in Ethiopia.

This precious chocolate opal is said to hold mysterious, powerful and emotive attributes as it assists with inducing visions and stimulating original and dynamic creativity. In addition, it helps with peace and serenity of the mind and a clear view your inner world, allowing greater insight and intuition.

This precious stone of gem quality enhances a diverse play of colors when looked at from different angles. It has a high level of brightness and exhibits multiple patterns with glossy shines of color. Chocolate opal is in fact volcanic in its origin and is found in a nodular form in volcanic ash. It's internal structure allows for it to have the ability to diffract light, therefore, depending on conditions, it can present an array of colors.

Chocolate opal should be kept in a soft pouch or presentation box, as knocks and sudden changes of temperature must be avoided. It is best kept separate from other gems as it may be scratched easily and loose some of its quality colorations. In reference to cleaning, warm water and a soft cloth is recommended, rather than any chemicals or steam.
