Item Specifics

Item Type: SOLID BLACK OPAL.

THIS OPAL HAS BEEN IN MY COLLECTION FOR A LONG TIME, IT WAS IN MY POSSESION AS A ROUGH OPAL AND I FINALLY

DECIDED TO GET IT RUBBED AND POLISHED. WHEN WE SAW THE FINISHED PRODUCT, WE COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW

BEAUTIFUL AND COLOURFUL THE ROUGH TRANSFORMED. ITS A RARE STUNNING RICH MULTI FIRE BLACK OPAL.

WE HAVE A LINK TO THE VIDEOS OF THE ROUGH OPAL BEING RUBBED, IT'S AN 8 PART VIDEO.

WE DECIDED TO TAKE THE VIDEO BECAUSE WE KNEW THIS OPAL IS SPECIAL.

This opal was light grey potch with interesting lines around sides ,only very thin with flicker of black.

So when rubbing down we took a video of this rough piece as we expected it to be interesting, so you can follow the stages of rubbing down.

The video was taken at Rollingstone’s Opal workshop. I took off most of the top potch but when I went down to start colour bar I wasn’t comfortable to rub down further ,, so w e finished it off with Dremal drill it took another 6 hours to find this magical red on black opal,

Next time you rub down if you get an undulating colour bar ,best to invest in a dermal drill to finish off. I think the winner for this opal can have naming rights to this beautiful gem!

reserve is only $100 per carat!
