1.11 Ct. Cabochon Semi-Black Opal from Australia

A rare and elegant offering from The Natural Gemstone Company, this transparent 1.11 carat pear shape multi color opal is a study in refined rarity and understated luxury, dimensions of 12.07 x 6.74 x 2.54 mm confirm a perfectly balanced silhouette that is ideal for an artisan setting. Hand shaped as a cabochon cut Semi Black Opal, the stone displays intense color intensity and an excellent polish that allows its internal panorama of greens, blues and flashes of warm fire to breathe and evolve with every movement. Untreated and without enhancement, sourced from Australia, this opal remains in its purest form, presenting a natural spectacle that only true connoisseurs can fully appreciate. Pieces of this calibre are seldom available, and owning this gem places you within an exclusive circle who value authenticity, provenance and singular beauty.

What sets this pear shaped cabochon apart is its masterful geometry, a subtle and deliberate design that mimics precision faceting to achieve maximum light play. The rounded dome and tapered pear geometry act like a series of gentle facets, channeling and refracting light across the stone surface so the play of color animates from soft, ethereal flashes to bold, scintillating patches depending on the angle and intensity of light. Internally the orderly arrangement of silica spheres scatters wavelengths in a way that gives rise to the opal flicker, and the expert profile of this cabochon optimizes that diffraction, producing an effect akin to engineered geometric faceting but entirely natural. For the collector who seeks a singular centerpiece, this Semi Black Opal is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum worthy example of nature meeting masterful cutting. This offering from The Natural Gemstone Company is limited by its very existence, a one of one jewel for those who demand distinction, refinement and a lifetime of mesmerising light play.
