[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 2404943, member: 2844"]I think you are spot on. Crystal opals are found in most opal regions of the world. I don't know if it is Ethiopian, it doesn't look it to me. Ethiopian opals have only been mined for some 25 yrs or so, and your blob could be older. It is only a boulder opal if it is in another stone (veins), the boulder or matrix. Jelly opals look like jelly, without those gorgeous flashes of different colours yours has.:) I love that brownish colour, and it looks like it could be natural. The treated brown opals I have seen, are a different shade of brown. Cruel man!:rage: Yes.:)[/QUOTE]
