0.55 Ct. Cabochon Black Opal from Australia

Presenting one beautiful opaque 0.55 carat oval shape multi color opal, this Black Opal measures 6.38 x 5.27 x 2.71 mm and is fashioned as a classic cabochon, the medium intense color intensity and excellent polish give it an immediate presence beyond its size, the play of color is lively with dominant greens and blues and flashes of violet that dance across a darker body tone providing vivid contrast, there is no enhancement, the origin is Australia, and the stone displays a solid, compact feel that is ideal for secure settings. At 0.55 carat this opal is perfectly suited to be the focal point of a refined ring or a delicate pendant, the oval silhouette and smooth dome enhance the color play under changing light, and the opaque character deepens the apparent saturation, making each movement of the wearer reveal new color patterns that are unique to natural Black Opal.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I can confirm this piece is supplied untreated, and we take pride in offering responsibly sourced Australian opals that show authentic, natural beauty, for care we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals, never use ultrasonic or steam cleaners, and choose protective settings such as bezels to reduce the risk of impact, if you prefer the vivid color play to pop against a brighter metal, white gold or platinum settings will emphasize the cool blue and green flashes, while warmer metals like yellow gold will create a rich, classic contrast. If you would like additional photos under different lighting, advice on custom mounting, or to reserve this Black Opal for a bespoke commission, please contact The Natural Gemstone Company and we will assist you personally, we look forward to helping you bring this luminous Australian opal into your collection.
