Solid Black Opal

This 2.35 carat Solid Black Opal from Lightning Ridge presents a deep, inky body tone lit with a lively mosaic of colour. Electric greens dominate the face, shifting into teal and saturated cobalt-blue flashes that brighten as the stone moves. The pattern reads as fine, broken flecks and confetti-like patches, giving the gem a textured, painterly energy beneath a high-polished cabochon dome. A pale, misty area along one side adds contrast and draws the eye through the play-of-colour, making this opal an expressive centre stone for a refined, modern setting.
