1.72 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

There is a whisper of midnight and fire within this stone, a Black Opal that feels like a secret kept close to the heart, a small universe folded into a cushion shaped form, opaque and sovereign, a weighty promise at 1.72 carat, its length and breadth measured with exacting tenderness at 15.02 x 6.78 x 2.17 mm. The tablet cut gives the surface a calm, expansive plane, a stage upon which color moves like tide and breeze, vivid in intensity and flawless in finish, an excellent polish that allows each hue to breathe and sing. Origin Australia, the dark cradle where this opal first met light, a birthplace that lends the stone its deep, mysterious ground, and enhancement none, a truth that matters in the slow language of love and of legacy. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this multi color opal with the reverence of a keepsake and the precision of a gemologist, knowing that its cushion shape and tablet cut will sit like a quiet poem against skin, catching glances and keeping them.

Gaze into the surface and you will see a landscape that changes with every tilt and heartbeat, red embers like a distant dawn, ocean blues that sweep and deepen, flashes of emerald that feel like new leaves unfurling after rain. These are not mere colors, they are moods and memories, each fragment of play reflecting some private weather, vivid color intensity that commands a second look and rewards a lifetime of inspection. The tablet cut holds the color in bands and clouds, a painterly composition that reads as abstract romance, where each shimmer seems to map a different promise. Even under the most dewy light the opal remains opaque and proud, a jewel that does not yield its mysteries too readily, yet offers luminous surprise to those who stop and watch. With no enhancement applied, the colors are elemental and honest, the gem a natural poem, its polish a silkier frame that allows the soul of the stone to breathe freely.

For the artisan and the lover, the physical details are a lover's measurement, precise and intimate, a cushion shape that balances presence with wearability, a tablet cut that lends itself to both bezel and flush settings, to rings that sit low against the hand, to pendants that rest upon the hollow beneath the throat. At 15.02 x 6.78 x 2.17 mm this Black Opal speaks to designers who treasure proportion and personality, a stone substantial enough to command a bespoke mounting, yet refined enough to be shaped into an engagement piece that feels like a secret vow. Imagine this gem set within warm gold to coax the reds and ambers into a quiet fire, or framed by cool white metal to let the blues exhale like night air. The lack of enhancement preserves not just the visual drama, but the integrity of the gift, the natural provenance from Australia assuring a story as old as the land itself. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind that provenance, offering both the gem and the story, the scientific certainty of its tablet cut and dimensions, and the softer certainty that it will become a cherished heirloom.

Hold this Black Opal and you hold a moment that will not be copied, a stone that will age into legend in the careful company of a beloved wearer, its surface catching kisses of light and recording seasons in color. Care is simple and sacred, a gentle hand, avoidance of harsh impact, and the respect that comes with wearing something unenhanced and true. If you seek an engagement token that reads like a tender novella, or a sentimental piece that will speak in glances for decades, this multi color cushion opal is a rare and vivid answer, its excellent polish and vivid color intensity a daily reminder of beauty that is both wild and curated.
