Description

AUSTRALIAN BLACK OPAL LOOSE STONE WHICH SHOWS INTRESTING PATTERN AND COLOUR FORMATION. THIS BLACK OPAL IS PERFECT CUT WITH HIGH POLISH. PERFECT FOR ONE OF PIECE JEWELLERY MAKING AS NO TWO OPALS ARE THE SAME. GOOD COLOUR WITH SLIGHTEST MOVEMENT OF OPAL. NATURAL UNIQUE SOLID BLACK OPAL IS 7 X 5 X 2 MM

Black Opal found mainly at Lightning Ridge in NSW and some areas in South Australia, this magnificent variety in gem quality is arguably the most valuable. Ablaze with colour, its dark body tone appearance distinguishes it from light opal from Coober Pedy.
