Arreat Summit to the rescue, as always:
Arreat Summit Wrote:Ethereal
Most types of armor or weapon, even one with magical properties, can be Ethereal. Bows and Crossbows cannot be Ethereal. These items appear translucent in the Inventory, and when equipped, they appear translucent on the character wielding them. Their ethereal nature gives them an improved fundamental ability. However, they have decreased Durability and cannot be repaired. You can place Zod Runes (Indestructible) in some Ethereal Items to prevent them from being destroyed. Ethereal Items do not lose Durability on Hirelings. Magic, Rare, and Unique Items can be Ethereal but you cannot get Ethereal Items when Imbuing.
- Weapons: +50% base damage.
- Armors: +50% base defense
Broken Ethereal Items sell for 1 Gold. Items that spawn as indestructible can not be ethereal at the same time. Hence, most elite unique items that are indestructable will never become ethereal.
