Black Opal

Item Description

Opal is one of the most diverse gems out there. It's one of the few stones that looks just as attractive when it's crystal clear as it does when the stones are opaque. Despite its rather simplistic chemistry, Opals show a great range of color in many varieties. This gem is shows flashes of red, orange, gold and green, set against a dark background. When this stone is strongly lit, it shows good color. Please note that this stone is a triplet, and is set against a backing with a Quart "dome" over the top to help allow the color to better show through. Enjoy.
