2.23 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

This exquisite Semi-Black Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a translucent, multi color beauty weighing 2.23 carats, cut into a classic oval shape with precise dimensions of 11.70 x 8.65 x 3.22 mm. The tablet cut yields a broad, luminous surface that showcases an intense color intensity, with lively flashes of green, red, and blue that play across the surface as the stone moves. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents excellent visual appeal with only minimal inclusions that do not detract from its vibrant play of color. The polish is excellent, enhancing the stones brilliance and smooth tactile finish, and importantly, the gem has no enhancements, originating from Australia, a renowned source for high quality opals.

This piece is ideal for a statement ring or a refined pendant, the tablet cut sitting low and securely for daily wear while still offering striking color dynamics. The Semi-Black Opal body tone provides contrast that intensifies the spectral flashes, making it versatile with both white and yellow metal settings depending on the design aesthetic you prefer. For care, avoid prolonged exposure to heat, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaning, clean gently with warm water and mild soap and dry with a soft cloth, and store separately to prevent abrasion. At The Natural Gemstone Company we carefully select and evaluate each gemstone, and this opal is offered with our assurance of natural origin and treatment disclosure, making it a confident choice for collectors and designers alike. If you would like additional photos under different lighting, or guidance on mounting options to best showcase the color play, we are happy to assist with personalized recommendations.
