Ethiopian Opal Mosaic Turtle in Black Onyx

Small pieces of Ethiopian opal form a luminous mosaic across this turtle's shell, framed by the deep black of polished onyx. Blue and green flashes mingle with touches of yellow and red, revealing different colors as the light and viewing angle change.

The curved shell, rounded head, and carved flippers give the piece a gentle, sculptural presence. Opal accents at the eyes carry the color beyond the shell, a small detail that rewards a closer look.

The contrast is part of its character: shifting color against dark stone, intricate inlay within a simple, familiar form. A distinctive piece for an opal collection or a quiet accent on a desk or shelf.
