3.68 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

This gorgeous Semi Black Opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a translucent, multi color treasure weighing 3.68 carats, presented in a classic oval shape that measures 15.83 by 9.37 by 4.20 mm. The gem displays a tablet cut that emphasizes its play of color across a broad surface, and at eye level it is graded eye clean, offering a pristine appearance to the unaided eye. Color intensity is rated as intense, with vibrant flashes of blue, green, and warm orange tones that shift as the stone moves, creating a lively and dynamic visual experience. The polish is excellent, contributing to a smooth, reflective surface that enhances light return, and importantly, this opal has undergone no enhancement, preserving its natural character and value. Origin is Australia, a source renowned for producing exceptional opals, and this specimen represents the best of that heritage.

As a salesperson with deep knowledge of gemstones, I recommend this piece for a variety of settings, from a refined solitaire ring to an elegant pendant that showcases the broad tablet face. Its 3.68 carat weight and generous dimensions make it ideal for designs that celebrate the opal as a focal point, while the Semi Black Opal classification ensures a striking contrast that brings out the internal fire. For care, avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, store the gem separately from harder stones to protect the polish, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the quality and provenance of this opal, and we are happy to assist with custom setting advice, certification details, and secure shipping options. This opal will appeal to collectors and designers who value natural beauty, excellent craftsmanship, and a vivid, enduring play of color.
