Pliny the Elder, the ancient Roman scholar, once wrote about opals, "For in them you shall see the living fire of ruby, the glorious purple of the amethyst, the sea-green of the emerald, all glittering together in an incredible mixture of light."
How right Pliny was! A prime example of this statement can be seen in this gorgeous, untreated, 3.0 carat Ethiopian Welo opal, which has been faceted by Mark Oros using a design entitled, “Emerald Check.” This stone is translucent, free of blemishes, and displays the most sought-after of opal play-of-color patterns- the harlequin, or mosaic pattern, which refers to the angular and broad, close-set flashes of color seen in this opal. When the light catches the stone, the gem is set ablaze with all colors of the rainbow that anybody- including Pliny the Elder- can appreciate and marvel at.
