Ethiopian Opal vs. Australian Opal: What Makes Them Different?

The composition, provenance, and appearance of Ethiopian and Australian opals differ greatly, despite the fact that both are valued for their striking color display. Australian opals, valued for their stability and bright, intense colors, are found mostly in Coober Pedy and Lightning Ridge.

In addition to a greater variety of colors, Ethiopian opals often include bright orange and red flashes.
