This seam black opal is very thin and needs to be handled carefully. It is a pendant stone only and a skilled jeweller is required to create a stunning piece with the right care.

The stone would be worth many times more if it had a bit more potch at the base; one end has a window where the potch is missing and that is its most fragile spot. But the colour flashes are so bright that when the stone is facing in an upright pendant position one can see through it. It is not everyone’s cup of tea but there is a beauty in its fragility and set right the pendant will be worth many times more than its cost and the time spent making it. It has a brilliant lustre and clarity in multicoloured, big blocky flagstone patterns. This is a unique find.

NB: All stones are cut by me in my Sydney studio.
