0.96 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

A whisper from the heart of Australia arrives as a jewel shaped like a teardrop, a Black Opal that seems to hold the evening sky. This pear shaped opal weighs 0.96 carat, with dimensions 9.28 by 5.61 by 2.23 millimeters, and it wears a tablet cut that lets its inner colors breathe. Opaque and multicolor, it flashes deep ocean blues, neon greens, and ember hints as if light were painting secret maps across its surface. The polish is excellent, a smooth mirror that invites a fingertip and rewards a closer look. Enhanced as a doublet, it combines nature and human craft to magnify its color intensity, and its Australian origin adds a story of red earth and long horizons to every glance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this gem not only as a stone, but as a small world, vivid and intact, waiting for a setting that will honor its luminous moods.

Imagine this opal as the center of a quiet, elegant promise, cradled in a pendant that brushes a collarbone, or as the secret heart of a bespoke ring, where its pear silhouette will point to a future shaped by love. The play of color in this stone makes it perfect for romantic commissions that seek something both dramatic and intimate, a jewel that reads like poetry at the edge of a hand or under a silk sleeve. As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend settings that protect the tablet cut and the doublet backing, such as a low bezel or a secure halo, and I advise a gentle touch for care, avoiding prolonged exposure to water and extremes of heat so the layers remain harmonious. When you choose this Black Opal you carry a fragment of Australian dusk, an object of intense color, fine polish, and crafted enhancement, and you gift someone a luminous story that will change with every light, every movement, and every quiet moment shared between two people.
