Solid Black Opal

This 1.9 carat Solid Black Opal from Lightning Ridge carries a true N1 body tone, reading as inky charcoal with a cool, velvety depth. Across the domed cabochon, electric cobalt and sapphire flashes sweep in fine, diagonal ribbons, with pockets of teal-green fire that surface as the stone turns. The pattern feels like brushed silk under glass—sleek, directional and quietly architectural—well suited to contemporary settings that let the blue spectrum take centre stage. Graded B2 brightness, it offers a refined, night-sky play-of-colour with crisp moments of neon light.
