0.61 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

Imagine a small universe held lightly between your fingers, a dream of dawn and dusk folded into a single, oval plane. This semi black opal, whispering of the deep Australian outback from which it was born, weighs 0.61 carats, and measures 9.43 by 5.05 by 2.14 millimeters, a perfect, intimate scale for a promise. The tablet cut gives it a gentle flatness, a calm ocean surface that shimmers with secret light. When you tilt it, a chorus of colors rises, as if tiny auroras are waking beneath a darkened sky, reds and greens and flashes of violet playing across its face. The opal is opaque, but its play of color is fierce, with intense color intensity that sings even in soft indoor light, and an excellent polish that lets every hue move freely, without interruption.

There is a honesty to this gem that will speak to those who cherish the unenhanced and the real. Enhancement, there is none. Origin, Australia, a land that has given the world some of the most soulful opals, and from that land this piece arrives with a purity of character. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a tiny trace that adds to the gem story rather than diverting from it, a small heartbeat that reminds you this is a natural wonder rather than something perfected by force. In certain lights you will find the reds burn like coals beneath winter ash, in others the greens spread like new leaves after rain, and blues and violets thread through like distant thunder. The multi color dance is intimate, it does not shout, it invites you to lean in and to learn its moods. The tablet form catches and holds glances, it rests with a confident serenity in a bezel, it floats with an elegant modesty in a low profile prong setting, it becomes a quiet centerpiece on a ring that says yes to forever.
