Some discover black. But cherry opal? That's for collectors who truly know their stones.

The striking red-to-orange body color is a natural product of the host stone's mineral composition — not treated, not dyed, not artificially enhanced. The rondelle (flat disc) shape is cut and polished smooth, allowing the full warmth of the cherry body color to glow through the surface, often with additional internal play-of-color fire visible under light. No two cherry opal strands are ever alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e📐 Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStone:   Natural Ethiopian Opal (Welo Cherry Opal)\u003cbr\u003e\nColor:   Deep Cherry Red \/ Orange-Red with translucent fire glow\u003cbr\u003e\nShape:   Rondelle (flat disc)\u003cbr\u003e\nFinish:  Smooth \/ High Polish\u003cbr\u003e\nStrand Length:  16 inches (~40 cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nCarat Weight: 41 carats\u003cbr\u003e\nSold As:   Per Strand (1 strand)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin:  Welo, Ethiopia\u003cbr\u003e\nGrade:   AAA Natural Gemstone\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Color:  Natural (rare cherry-red matrix — not dyed or treated)\u003cbr\u003e\nTreatment:  Natural \/ Untreated\u003cbr\u003e\nNote:   Stock is extremely limited — cherry opal is a rare color variety\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerfect For Your Next Creation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese Ethiopian cherry opal rondelle beads for jewelry making are a rare supply find — the warm red-orange body color makes them completely unique in the opal bead market and stand out in any finished piece.
