➡️ Technical specifications

Scarlet Horizon clearly belongs to the brighter, more luminous side of Welo opals. The body is transparent to translucent, allowing light to pass very openly through the stone. As a result, the colors do not appear embedded or muted, but directly visible and clearly defined.

The dominant element is the strong red, which runs in stripe-like zones through the stone. These red and pink areas are accompanied by yellow and green components, creating a broad but well-structured play of colors. Unlike chaotic or completely flat patterns, this opal shows a recognizable direction - a flowing system instead of a random distribution.

At 4.35 carats, the stone offers sufficient surface area so that these color structures are clearly defined without appearing lost. The cabochon cut supports the soft, continuous movement of the colors.

The combination of a light body, high luminosity, and clearly visible red components makes this opal immediately accessible. It doesn't appear "hidden" or complex, but direct and present.

Scarlet Horizon is a stone whose effect isn't built up – it's immediately there. That is precisely its strength.
