One beautiful opaque 1.47 carat oval shape multi color opal, dimensions 10.08 x 8.00 x 3.94 mm, cabochon cut, clarity grade eye clean evaluated at eye level, dark color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement no enhancement, origin Ethiopia, this Black Opal is a superb example of natural play of color captured within a deep, dark body tone. The oval cabochon shape has been carefully formed to maximize the color flash, with a smooth dome and well balanced proportions that allow green, blue, and hints of red to shift as the stone moves. The surface polish reads as excellent, giving a glass like reflective sheen that complements the rich internal hues. At 1.47 carats this gem is substantial enough to stand alone as a center stone or to be paired in an elegant setting that showcases its dramatic color on dark ground, and the eye clean clarity ensures that the vibrant color takes center stage without visible inclusions distracting from the visual impact.
As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I am pleased to present this Ethiopian Black Opal as a premium natural choice for collectors and custom jewelers, a stone that requires no enhancement and carries the authentic character of its origin. Its versatile dimensions and classic oval cabochon profile make it ideal for rings, pendants, and custom fine jewelry where the dark body tone will intensify the play of color under varied lighting. For everyday wear I recommend a secure bezel or halo style mount to protect the cabochon surface while highlighting the color. To maintain its beauty avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes, clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush, and store separately to prevent abrasion. If you would like additional images from different angles or guidance on settings that best complement the color pattern, I am happy to assist. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind our gems with expert guidance and careful selection, and we welcome your questions to help you choose the perfect presentation for this striking Black Opal.
