Three Ethiopian welo opals carved as a single continuing flower, each petal carrying its own fire. Mounted as a free-standing triptych with no metal at all — the stones balance on a hand-lapped base, exactly as they left the bench. The middle bloom measures the full play-of-color spectrum, from electric green through to deep red, shifting as the viewer walks past.
