1.39 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

Introducing a stunning Black Opal from Australia offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, a truly striking example of opal beauty and craftsmanship. This piece is opaque, weighing 1.39 carat, and fashioned in a pleasing fancy shape that maximizes its visual impact. The gem measures 10.43 by 6.43 by 3.14 mm, and features a tablet cut that allows the surface play of color to read boldly and evenly. Color intensity is rated as intense, with an excellent polish that creates a smooth, reflective surface and enhances the brightness of its internal fire. The opal is a doublet enhancement, assembled to present the best possible color and stability while preserving the natural opal layer. Origin is Australia, and the combination of deep background tone and lively multi color flashes makes this specimen a representative example of collectible Black Opal material.

Visually this opal presents a dynamic tapestry of color, with vivid blues and greens as the dominant palette, complemented by flashes of red and orange that appear with movement and changes in light. The tablet cut concentrates the color into broad patches and mosaic patterns, so the viewer experiences immediate color saturation when the stone is tilted. The dark backing of the doublet intensifies the perceived contrast and gives the colors a jewel like depth, while the excellent polish reveals crisp edges to each color patch. For collectors and designers seeking a gem that announces itself with presence, this opal will perform exceptionally in simple bezel settings or low profile mounts that protect the thin opal layer while showcasing its play of color. The fancy shape lends itself to bespoke pieces, matching well with organic metalwork, modern geometric frames, or as a centerpiece in a custom pendant or ring.

When considering this Black Opal for a commission or private collection, practical care and setting strategy are important, and The Natural Gemstone Company is available to advise on those choices. Because this gem is a doublet, sensible protection from hard knocks and from prolonged exposure to liquids and chemicals will prolong its life and beauty. We recommend settings that cradle the opal and offer protective bezels or prongs that avoid exposing the thin opal layer at the edges, and we can suggest suitable mounting styles based on your design vision. For customers who wish to view additional photos, request a short video, or discuss matching stones for a pair or suite, our team will assist promptly and professionally. This Black Opal combines a compact yet striking carat weight, strong color play, and expert finishing, making it an ideal candidate for a signature piece that will delight both the wearer and the collector.
