This exquisite Semi Black Opal from Australia is a translucent 2.20 carat pear shape multi color opal, presented in a tablet cut that showcases its play of color elegantly across a gently domed surface. The gem measures 15.45 x 9.11 x 2.56 mm, and its proportions are ideal for a refined pendant or an eye catching ring, the shallow profile lending itself beautifully to bezel and inlay settings. The clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, with no visible inclusions to distract from the intense color intensity that shifts from vibrant greens to deep blues and flashes of violet as the light moves, the polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement of any kind. As a Semi Black Opal the body tone offers a subtle darkness that amplifies the color play while retaining a luminous translucency, giving it a dramatic presence without the weight of a full black background.
At The Natural Gemstone Company we value both the aesthetic and the practical qualities that make this piece special, and we recommend settings that protect the thin tablet profile while maximizing the color display. A snug bezel in yellow gold will warm the green flashes and create a classic look, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the cooler blue and violet tones for a contemporary feel. The shallow depth and eye clean clarity make this opal especially suitable for paired earrings or a delicate solitaire pendant where movement will bring out the full spectrum of color. Care is simple, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, clean with mild soap and lukewarm water and a soft cloth, and store separately to prevent abrasion. This opal is a natural, untreated gem from Australia, and we at The Natural Gemstone Company are happy to provide additional detailed images, exacting measurements, and tailored setting advice to ensure this Semi Black Opal becomes the centerpiece you envision. If you would like to reserve or commission a custom setting, please reach out and we will assist you personally.
