Just by listening the term Volcanos, most of you think, these can only destroy things —Lava, ash, and fire. But the "twist is when you get to know" that even these so called destructive elements creates beautiful gemstones deep below the earth's crust.

In Ethiopia, Rainwater has been absorbed for over thousands of years by the silica-rich volcanic rock and as the time passes, the water gets evaporated leaving behind the formation of mind-blowing beauty - Ethiopian Opal. Yes, the rainbow look alike Gemstones capturing beauty inside it with ancient lava bubbles.

So, basically two of the most disruptive things on the earth — Fire & Water tied and teamed up to create mesmerizing beauty.

Isn't it wild to think that even the most violent forces of earth creates something outstanding beauty.
What other "Disaster" could lead to formation of something like this? Share your thoughts if you know!
