Abstract
The current study concentrated on the risk associated with naturally occurring radioactive materials in opal minerals and the method of refinement from the opal deposit site. The study's goal was to raise awareness of people who cause disease, improper use of expectations, and of better income generated in scientific ways. Radiation exposure has been associated with most forms of leukemia and with cancers of many organs, such as the lung, breast and thyroid gland, but not with certain other organs, such as the prostate gland. Mineworkers are exposed to radiation when extracting minerals from the earth's crust, with the associated radiological risks being assessed. Earth mineralogy is associated with environmental risks during mining and refining, particularly in certain aspects. Opal is most commonly found in Wollo, Ethiopia's northernmost region. The mechanism people used to refine opal Minerals at Wegel Tena often use rudimentary tools, such as a hammer and chisel, to extract the opal from the exposed seam along the flank of the canyon. The people living in Wogel Tena unknowingly export opal minerals to traders. Nowadays, the government's energy and mineral ministers are concerned about the preservation of tourist attractions and commercial centers using scientific methods. The local opal trader was unconcerned about people's safety or the diversion of mining resources. The new opal deposit was discovered in the village of Wegel Tena. Unlike previous Ethiopian opals, the new material is mostly white, with a little brown opal, fire opal, and a colorless "crystal" opal thrown in for good measure. When soaked in water, the opaque-to-translucent opals become transparent, showing a remarkable hydrophane character.
