Ethiopian chocolate opal from Mezezo, Ethiopia.

Chocolate opal is one of the many different varieties of opal available. The unique and distinct chocolate color is what separates this variety from other opal varieties. The dark base colors of chocolate opal can range from light to dark chocolate brown colors. The darker tones allow for more intense play of color which is the most valued trait when identifying fine precious opal. Chocolate opal is of volcanic nature. It is found and formed within layers of developed volcanic ash and grouped in clusters of nodules. Despite having fire-like characteristics, chocolate opals are deposited at relatively low temperature levels, unlike other fire-rocks born of igneous passage.Chocolate opal is found and mined solely from Yita Ridge, which is located approximately 150 miles northeast of Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.The opal fields are approximately 12 miles north of Mezezo and extend along the northern face of Yita Ridge.
