This Black Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a remarkable, translucent 2.41 carat oval, measuring 13.94 x 6.94 x 3.67 mm, presented in a tablet cut that highlights its broad, luminous play of color. The stone displays intense color intensity with vibrant green and deep blue flashes across a dark body tone, and the multi color character gives it an organic, painterly appearance that changes with movement. Clarity is graded eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means the surface and body present no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and the excellent polish produces a smooth, reflective surface that enhances the opal"s fire. There is no enhancement, and the opal is a natural Australian gem, offering the reliability and provenance collectors and designers appreciate. The compact oval tablet shape is ideal for settings that want to showcase the opal"s color rather than a high dome, and its balanced proportions make it versatile for both bespoke jewelry and refined ready to wear pieces.
As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend settings that protect the tablet profile while allowing light to strike the face of the stone, such as bezel frames with a low profile or slightly raised prong settings that secure the perimeter. The intense color intensity and eye clean clarity make this Black Opal especially well suited to a statement ring, a pendant with a simple mount to emphasize color, or a pair of matched pieces if paired with complementary stones. Care is straightforward, as you should avoid sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals, and clean gently with a soft cloth and warm water. Because there is no enhancement, this opal will retain its natural character for generations with proper care, and its Australian origin adds to its desirability. If you would like close up images, setting sketches, or to reserve the stone while discussing design options, please let me know and I will personally assist you to ensure the final piece reflects the opal"s full beauty and value.
