Solid Grey-Based Opal

This Solid, Grey-Based Opal from Lightning Ridge presents a poised N5 body tone with a lively B3 brightness that wakes up beautifully in the light. Bargain price. Across its polished oval cabochon, a fine mosaic of colour breaks into ember-like flashes of orange and gold, edged with sparks of red and violet-blue. The play-of-colour concentrates through the centre and drifts outward in intricate, confetti-style flecks, giving the stone a sense of movement with every tilt. At 0.7 carats, it’s a refined, versatile size—ideal for a discreet statement in a ring or pendant where the warmth of the fire can take centre stage.
