Solid Crystal Black Opal

This Solid Crystal Black Opal from Lightning Ridge is a slender, elongated cabochon with a bright, glassy polish and an inky base that lets the colour read with clarity. Across the face, electric greens dominate, flaring into cobalt and indigo flashes through the upper half, with a warm ember note of orange-red pooling near one end. The pattern feels painterly and organic—broad sweeps of colour broken by darker, smoky windows that shift as the stone moves. At 0.6 carats, it’s a refined accent stone with high-impact colour, ideal for a clean, modern setting where the long oval line can take centre stage.
