0.49 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

Explore the extraordinary allure of this exquisite 0.49 carat fancy shape multi-color opal, exclusively available at The Natural Gemstone Company. This captivating opal is more than just a gemstone; it's a symphony of colors beautifully interwoven within its translucent surface. With dimensions of 8.28 x 5.99 x 1.88 mm, the opal exhibits a cabochon cut that enhances its unique play-of-color phenomena, captivating light and color from every angle. Rated with an eye-clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, this gem is free of visible inclusions, ensuring a flawless vista for its vibrant internal hues.

The color intensity of this opal is nothing short of intense, rivaling the finest opals from Mexico known for their fiery reds and oranges, or the famous Ethiopian opals which are celebrated for their vibrant and mysterious shifts of blues and greens. However, what sets this Australian opal apart is its kaleidoscopic array of colors—a singular blend of the entire spectrum. This vibrancy is not commonly found in opals from other regions, thus making it a remarkable addition for both new enthusiasts and seasoned collectors alike. Its origin from Australia commands respect, as the country is renowned for producing the world's most sought-after opals, with deeper, more varied color patterns in a single stone.

One of the distinguishing characteristics of our Australian opal is the balance between its luscious body tone and the flash of colors that dance across its surface. This stone’s excellent polish means that every hue is seen in its purest form, undistorted and true. The craftsmanship of the cabochon cut further reveals its beauty, providing a rounded surface where colors graduate from warm to cool tones seamlessly. Unlike the more uniform opals from Brazil for example, where translucency is prized, this Australian treasure combines both translucent depths with electrifying bursts of color, creating an eternally dynamic centerpiece for any piece of jewelry.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we understand the quest for finding the ideal gem can be both exhilarating and daunting. This particular opal embodies the culmination of that journey, offering something truly exceptional.
