[QUOTE="Kavinda Vishan, post: 316566, member: 6146"]Wow.. Thank you very much for all the info Any Jewelry.. :) I have never come across the term 'Kalimaya Opals' when i researched online so i thought these might be Australian Black Opals, and one source said rolling flash pattern is mostly seen on Ethiopian Opals, but you are right Opal mining in Ethiopia dates back to early 1990's so these can't be Welo Opals. I will research more on Indonesian Kalimaya Opals now. One earring has only blue play of color and the other has only green play of color with a bit of blue on the back. So could be jelly Opals as you say.. Yes i too would love to have known him, I have no idea from where he collected these, probably from a foreign gem trader back in the day. Opal and Opal Jewelry are not at all popular here in Sri Lanka.[/QUOTE]
