3.12 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

One exceptional Black Opal, translucent and alive with color, is offered exclusively by The Natural Gemstone Company, and this is a rare opportunity to own a museum quality specimen. We present a 3.12 carat pear shaped multi color opal, expertly fashioned in a tablet cut that showcases broad, painterly flashes that appear to shift and mingle as the stone moves. The proportions are finely balanced at 13.96 by 8.81 by 4.49 millimeters, and the surface shows an excellent polish that catches light across its entire face. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is graded eye clean, with no clouds or inclusions to distract from the mesmerizing play of color. The intensity of the color is intense, with vivid, saturated hues that are especially dramatic against the characteristic dark body tone that defines a true Black Opal. This gem is completely natural, with no enhancement, and it hails from Australia, the iconic source for the world finest opals.

Owning this Black Opal places you among a very select group of connoisseurs who understand the rare combination of material quality and artisanal cutting that elevates a gem beyond mere ornament. Tablet cuts are uncommon and demand a precise lapidary eye to preserve the color pattern while achieving a pleasing outline. The pear shape is immensely versatile, flattering in both vertical pendants and bespoke ring settings, and perfect for a statement solitaire that will sit proudly as an heirloom. The dark host of the Black Opal enhances the contrast and makes each flash of blue, green, and violet sing with clarity and depth. Because this piece is both eye clean and free of treatment, it represents a purer form of gemstone ownership, a tangible celebration of nature and craftsmanship that will not be replicated. For collectors seeking provenance, we emphasize the Australian origin, and for jewelry designers and clients pursuing a bespoke commission, this opal offers a singular centerpiece around which to build a custom, one of a kind creation.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we curate each piece with an eye toward rarity and longevity, and this Black Opal is offered with private viewing and personalized service to ensure the acquisition meets your highest expectations. We limit availability intentionally to preserve exclusivity, and we recommend reserving this gem quickly if it aligns with your collection goals, because stones of this caliber and character seldom remain on the market. For care, handle your Black Opal with respect, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes, and secure professional cleaning when needed to maintain the brilliance and polish that make it so captivating. As an investment in beauty and rarity, this opal stands apart, combining natural, untreated material, intense color, and a masterful tablet cut into a compact and wearable 3.12 carat size. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company to arrange a private consultation, and allow us to assist you in transforming this singular Black Opal into a custom work of wearable art that will be treasured for generations.
