Solid Black Opal

This 0.85 carat Solid Black Opal from Lightning Ridge is cut as a classic oval cabochon, polished to a high dome that gathers light from every angle. Across a deep, inky body tone, broad ribbons of colour drift through electric green and teal, with flashes of cobalt and warmer ember tones that appear as you tilt the stone. The pattern reads like layered brushstrokes—soft-edged and fluid—giving the fire a painterly, atmospheric depth. A refined choice for a bespoke ring or pendant where shifting colour is the centrepiece.
