Solid Black Opal

A 3.5 carat Solid Black Opal from Lightning Ridge, cut as an oval cabochon with a high, glassy dome that catches the light cleanly. Across a deep inky body tone, broad panels of electric cobalt and sapphire blue drift through the face, edged by flashes of teal and sea-green. The colour play reads as painterly and layered—like translucent brushstrokes suspended over midnight—shifting from cool aqua to vivid royal blue as the stone is moved. A refined, modern opal with strong blue character and an elegant, wearable profile for bespoke fine jewellery.
