Solid Black Opal

This 1.35 carat Solid Black Opal from Lightning Ridge is cut as an oval cabochon, polished to a high dome that draws the light across its surface. A deep inky body tone sets the stage for electric green flashes and cool ocean blues, scattered in a lively confetti pattern that brightens as the stone is tilted. Across the face, small islands of colour cluster and break apart, giving the opal a layered, painterly depth rather than a single band of fire. Refined and wearable, it offers strong contrast and vivid play-of-colour suited to a statement ring or a sleek pendant design.
