| Below is a gallery of gem-grade Ethopian Precious Opal specimens
for sale from John Betts - Fine Minerals in New York City, NY. Opal from
Ethiopia was discovered about 8 years ago and is slowly coming to the
marketplace. This year at Tucson there were few dealers selling this material.
Fortunately, I had earlier made a connection to the major miner/exporter
of Ethiopian opal. After seeing all of the other dealers in Tucson, I was
relieved to discover that my source had the best quality opal. The opals
below are all I have available. Every one has exceptional internal fire or
play of colors and are all are even more impressive when seen in person.
