Black Opal

Item Description

Black Opal is one of the most valuable, sought after and distinctive varieties of Opal in the world. The world-famous examples from Lightning Ridge, Australia are the best Black Opal gems ever found. This area has been a prolific producer of superb Opals for many years. This oval cabochon cut stone features beautiful reflections of electric green and blue which are sitting against a grey background. The vibrant color of the Opal against the background makes for a lovely stone, which would do well in a pendant or loose as a great addition to your gem collection. When the stone is backlit, it actually shows a warm orange hue. This stone is a SOLID Opal, and not a doublet or a triplet, which makes it more valuable and worthwhile for a collector. Priced at $920.00 retail.
