Anyone who has ever witnessed a true play of color in a black opal immediately understands why these stones are so sought after. This 4.65-carat black opal displays a vivid interplay of green and blue – two colors that create an almost hypnotic effect against a dark body tone. With every shift of light, the image changes, always fresh, always different.
At 14.00 x 10.01 x 4.75 mm, this stone has a pleasing depth that gives the color play a tangible three-dimensionality. The oval cabochon cut is the classic choice for opals – and for good reason. It directs the eye exactly where it belongs: into the heart of the stone.
Origin Australia, condition untreated – confirmed by Edelsteinlabor Eigner. This opal is exactly as it came from the earth. For those who consider naturalness and authenticity in a gemstone non-negotiable.
