During the archaic period, Ethiopian Opals were regarded as emotional intensifiers to enhance emotions and feelings of love and passion. At the outset, the mining for Ethiopian Opals was done at small-scale mines using standard techniques. Ethiopian Opal Jewelry has become an important part of the gemstone industry and an earning ground for tribal or local residents of Ethiopia. As the gemstone market arose, more ample mining procedures and foreign acquisitions merged with the industry. The Ethiopian beaded necklaces are usually given as mementos to travelers as a tradition who come to Ethiopia as regional tribes model them in some places.
