12.9ct Natural Ethiopian White Opal carved horse head front view | SARATTI

Description

This natural Ethiopian White Opal displays a white-to-cream bodycolour with gentle warm tonal variation throughout the carving. Visible flashes of green, blue, orange and pink move selectively across the mane and profile, giving the horse-head motif a lively presence without overpowering its pale body tone.

Fashioned as a three-dimensional horse-head carving, the piece defines the muzzle, nostril, eye, cheek and flowing mane through fully sculpted contours, raised sections and recessed details. Polished surfaces follow the dimensional form from several viewing angles, while the colour movement appears differently across the mane, face and lower neck.

Weighing 12.9 carats and measuring 32.2 × 17.7 × 4.8 mm, the carving has an elongated profile suited to a pendant, brooch or collectable jewellery composition. The Opal is stated to have received no treatment, with this status disclosed in the gemstone details.
