Australian Black Opal

Printable Opal Size Chart

Black Opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia.

As shown in the photographs, this solid black opal has many views to offer. From one angle you see greens, oranges, red and blue, turn a little and you are dazzled by intense red, orange and green with a bit of blue thrown in. Turn a bit more and the greens, blues and oranges are dancing in medium patterns from the very heart of this opal gemstone.

The medium cabochon adds to the intensity in display of color, and gives extra freedom when deciding upon a setting. This opal is a great candidate for a handsome men's ring, but would look equally fantastic for a women's ring or perhaps as a pendant.
