WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AFRICAN ETHIOPIAN WELO OPAL.  Welo opal is what is known as Hydrophane opal, it is volcanic in nature, Hydrophane come from the Greek words meaning "water loving ". You should try to keep Welo Opal Dry, it will absorb water if allowed to stay wet for a few minutes. This will not hurt or damage the opal in anyway but the opal can turn clear or opaque and lose its color temporarily until dry. Not to worry as the opal will regain it original color once allowed to dry. How long does it take to dry? Well this could be a few hours up to a few days depending on how much water the opal has absorbed and the temperature and humidity were it is drying.
