Natural Ethiopian Opal Cabochons

Shop natural Ethiopian opal cabochons and Welo opal cabochons selected as individual loose gemstones for jewelry making, collecting and custom designs. This collection focuses specifically on loose cabochon-cut Ethiopian opal so shoppers can compare individual stones without sorting through finished jewelry.

Ethiopian Welo Opal Cabochons

Browse pear, oval, marquise, cushion, round and other cabochon shapes across a range of sizes. Each listing represents the specific gemstone shown and includes its stated measurements, weight or shape where provided on the product page.

Natural Ethiopian opal can vary in body colour, transparency and visible play-of-colour. Use the product photographs and specifications to compare each stone individually, since no two natural opals display exactly the same pattern.

Choosing a Natural Opal Cabochon

When comparing loose opal, consider the stone shape, dimensions, overall colour, visible fire and the type of jewelry you plan to make. Pear and marquise shapes can suit elongated designs, while oval, cushion and round cabochons offer versatile proportions for rings and pendants.
