1.11 Ct. Cabochon Semi-Black Opal from Australia

This exquisite Semi Black Opal is a transparent, multi color treasure weighing 1.11 carat, expertly carved into a pear shape cabochon that measures 12.07 by 6.74 by 2.54 millimeters. The gem displays intense play of color across a soft dark body tone, with vivid flashes of green, flashes of orange and subtle flashes of violet that shift beautifully with movement. The surface shows an excellent polish and a smooth dome that enhances the internal fire, while the cabochon cut preserves the opal material and maximizes the color potential. Origin Australia, with no enhancement applied, this specimen retains its natural structure and optical properties, offering a pure and authentic opal experience. The clarity and transparency allow the color patches to appear lively and three dimensional, making this stone ideal for pieces that showcase the face of the gem rather than conceal it.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we select Semi Black Opal specimens for collectors and designers who appreciate rarity and natural beauty, and this 1.11 carat pear is an especially versatile choice for bespoke jewelry, whether set as a pendant, drop earring, or a centerpiece in a delicate ring. Its elongated pear profile lends itself to elegant settings that emphasize length and movement, and the intense color intensity paired with superb polish means it will read stunningly under both natural and artificial light. Because it has been left untreated, the opal will respond predictably when set and cared for according to standard opal guidelines, and our team can advise on mounting styles that protect the gem while showcasing its play of color.
