2.04 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

Introducing a rare and luminous Semi Black Opal, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, a gemstone that captures attention with its gentle translucence and vivid play of color. This beautiful piece weighs 2.04 carats, and its freeform shape offers organic elegance that suits bespoke jewelry designs and fine collector settings alike. Originating from Australia, a source renowned for superior opal material, this opal displays multi color flashes that shift from warm red to fiery orange, to cool green and blue, depending upon the angle of view. The overall effect is dynamic, captivating, and distinctly alive, making it an exceptional choice for someone seeking a statement stone that remains refined and wearable.

The technical specifications of this gem are presented for clarity and confidence, the dimensions measure 9.18 x 12.29 x 2.85 mm, the cut is not applicable due to the freeform shaping, the clarity grade is eye clean as evaluated at eye level, the color intensity is rated intense, and the polish is excellent, enhancement none, and the origin is Australia. These attributes combine to make a stone that is both visually impressive and honest in presentation. The translucent body allows light to penetrate and interact with the internal color patches, while the intense color intensity ensures strong flashes that remain visible even under soft lighting. The eye clean clarity means the surface and interior show no distracting inclusions at normal viewing distances, which enhances the gem wearing experience and the way the colors read in finished pieces.

In practical terms, this Semi Black Opal adapts beautifully to a variety of settings, from an elegant pendant to a refined ring or an artisan brooch. The freeform shape invites creative mounting styles that celebrate the stone rather than constrain it, and the modest thickness offers comfortable wear while preserving the depth of color. Semi Black Opals combine a darker body tendency with translucent to light body effects, which in this specimen results in a subtle background that elevates the vivid color patches. Designers will appreciate the balance between eye clean clarity and intense color intensity, as those qualities translate into pieces that photograph well and retain visual impact under everyday light. For collectors, this opal represents a fine example of Australian material with no enhancements, a factor that preserves rarity and authenticity.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance and presentation of each gem, and this Semi Black Opal is offered with full disclosure of its attributes to ensure informed choices. If you are considering a setting recommendation, a bezel or low profile crown can protect the stone while allowing light to animate the color play, and a secure mount will preserve the excellent polish and surface integrity. Care for opal entails avoiding sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals, and when storing, keep the gem separate from harder stones to prevent abrasion. Please contact us for additional photos, custom mounting advice, or to request viewing under different light conditions, as we are happy to assist with measurements, recommendations, and any questions you may have. This opal is ready to become the centerpiece of a special commission or the highlight of a curated collection.
