Some establishments have been selling these as Australian Lightning Ridge opals. They will mine out just like the Lightning Ridge mines and prices will Soar! They are now a fraction of their true worth and are being used by most of the top designers globally. 5/5 means the crystal opal has perfect brightness and color so if you want an opal attractive in all light bit just darkness look for top Welo Ethiopian Opal.

NOTES -  When the “Lightning Ridge,” Australia opal mine was discovered they over mined the material and now a single gem can cost over 25,000.00 per carat in black opal (see black opals), and top Welo opals are being used in lieu of Lightning Ridge Crystal Opals now mined out for the most part and they are often not disclosed amd are equally beautiful.
