1.08 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

This Black Opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare and striking choice for a statement piece, weighing 1.08 carats, and measuring 11.05 by 6.07 by 2.46 mm, rendered in an elegant oval tablet cut, originating from Australia, with no enhancement. Compared to the many smaller or treated opals commonly sold, this solid opaque gem stands out for its intense color intensity and excellent polish, qualities that laboratory created or assembled doublet and triplet opals simply cannot match. The tablet cut maximizes the play of color across a broad surface while preserving depth, making the fire and flash of this opal immediately visible even from a distance. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the naked eye the stone reads as clean and vibrant, while retaining natural character, a balance that often eludes lower grade specimens on the market.

For jewelers and collectors seeking a centerpiece that commands attention, this Black Opal is superior in both presence and value. Its larger than average dimensions create a bold face that fits perfectly in a statement ring, pendant, or bespoke brooch, outperforming the many smaller, washed out options available at similar price points. The intense color intensity yields strong contrast against dark body tones, enhancing visibility in different lighting conditions, and the excellent polish ensures that every flash is bright and sharp. Because it is unenhanced and Australian in origin, this opal offers greater long term value than treated stones, and it makes an excellent investment for designers who want authentic, lasting beauty. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source gems with provenance and clarity that allow our clients to design with confidence, knowing the material will hold its visual impact and market desirability.

Whether you plan a modern, minimalist setting to showcase the oval tablet surface, or a more ornate surround to amplify the contrast and color, this Black Opal provides a commanding focal point. The combination of 1.08 carat weight, generous 11.05 by 6.07 by 2.46 mm dimensions, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, and no enhancements gives this gem a competitive edge over common market offerings. Choose this opal from The Natural Gemstone Company when you want a statement piece that is visually spectacular, technically superior, and distinctively authentic.
