Introducing a stunning Semi Black Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautifully opaque 1.79 carat oval multi color opal that measures 13.12 x 6.38 x 3.58 mm, expertly cut as a smooth cabochon with a medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish. This Australian opal displays lively flashes of green, blue, and warm orange and red that play across its surface as it moves in the light, giving the gem depth and complexity prized by collectors and designers alike. The stone is untreated and shows no enhancement, preserving the natural character and value that comes with genuine opal material from Australia, its oval outline is ideal for classic settings, while the cabochon cut softens the silhouette and enhances the internal play of color, allowing the palette to appear broad and layered rather than isolated.
At The Natural Gemstone Company we recommend this gem for elegant rings, bespoke pendants, and fine earrings, where the medium intense color will provide beautiful impact without overpowering a refined design. The thickness of 3.58 mm gives lapidaries and mount makers room to set the stone securely while maintaining an attractive profile, and the 13.12 x 6.38 mm footprint works well for both vertical and horizontal orientations. Because the opal is opaque and has been given an excellent polish, the surface reflects light smoothly, making it a pleasure to handle and wear, we stand behind the authenticity and quality of every item, and we are happy to provide additional images, setting advice, or certification upon request, ensuring you have the information you need to make a confident purchase.
Semi Black Opals are prized for their darker body tone which enhances the contrast of the play of color, and this stone shows a balanced mix of cool and warm flashes which will read differently under daylight and warm incandescent light, adding interest to every viewing angle. For mounting we often suggest warm metals to bring out the orange and red flashes, while white metals will accentuate blues and greens, and a protective bezel or low profile prong will protect the edges and maintain the polished surface.
