Solid Black Crystal Opal

This 1.8 carat Solid Crystal Opal from Lightning Ridge presents as an elegant oval cabochon with a high, glassy polish. A vivid field of electric green dominates the face, opening into shifting islands of cobalt-blue and violet, with warm ember tones flickering through the lower half. The pattern reads as painterly and organic—broad flashes broken by darker seams that give the colour extra depth and contrast. With movement, the opal’s fire rolls across the dome in layered sheets, offering a bold centre-stone presence suited to a refined, gallery-led design.
