Ethiopian Opal unfaceted nugget beads have a waxy luster with both polished translucent areas and unpolished matrix areas. These Opal beads originate from Ethiopia and have matrix in a light sandy tan hue with amazing scattered Play of Color. The largest bead on the strand has a chip on the back so the price has been adjusted for the damage but it is still a stunning usable bead. These AA quality Boulder Opal beads are truly amazing and one of a kind!
