Sourced directly from the Welo mining region of Ethiopia, these natural black opal oval smooth beads showcase a stunning depth of color — jet-black to dark charcoal body with shifting internal fire in blue, teal, green, gold, and copper. The smooth oval polish reveals the full surface of each stone's natural play-of-color. Every bead is 100% natural, untreated, and carbon-matrix black — not dyed, not smoked, not coated.

🧼 CARE GUIDE
