Moments That Made People Go ‘What Did I Just See?’

My fascination with rocks and beautiful stones was among the factors that led me to choose geology as my major in college. I don’t know what it is, but watching them sparkle and shine always works on me like a hypnotic spell, keeping my attention on them. The true magic starts when you look at them up close under a microscope.

Sometimes, you will not need a microscope to see the magic and beauty of a rock. Take this Ethiopian Welo Opal for example. You have already heard of the sunset inside a rock; this time, it’s an ocean within a rock. To be honest, this opal could easily pass as the heart of the ocean.
