3.68 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

Owning a rare gem is not merely an acquisition, it is an assertion of taste, a private celebration of discernment and distinction, and this exquisite Semi Black Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company embodies that philosophy. Sourced from the storied opal fields of Australia, this opaque, multi color treasure weighs 3.68 carats, its oval silhouette refined to dimensions of 12.75 x 10.23 x 4.38 mm. The tablet cut presents a broad, gently domed face that allows the stone to reveal its soul with every turn, and an excellent polish grants a mirror like surface that intensifies every glint and flash. There is an immediate sense of presence when you lay eyes on this opal, a luminous conversation between dark body tone and electric play of color that marks it as an object of desire for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Examined with the care of a seasoned gemologist, this opal carries a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, inclusions that do not detract but instead contribute to the gem’s authentic character. The color intensity is intense, a quality that transforms greens into verdant fields, blues into deep oceanic depths, and occasional flashes of orange and red into fleeting, dramatic exclamation points. This palette is particularly striking in a Semi Black Opal, where the darker background creates contrast and depth, allowing each hue to sing with greater purity. There has been no enhancement, no treatment applied, a natural state that elevates provenance and assures you that the beauty you behold is entirely the creation of nature and time.

For the designer seeking a signature piece, the tablet cut and modest profile of this opal invite spectacular bespoke treatments, while its generous 3.68 carat weight ensures it will anchor any composition with confidence. Imagine it set as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring, cradled in a low profile bezel of warm rose gold to accentuate the green and orange sparks, or elevated in a platinum pendant where blue notes can be contrasted with delicate melee diamonds to create movement and scintillation. The dimensions of 12.75 x 10.23 x 4.38 mm allow for versatile settings, from classic solitaires to modern, architectural designs, and the opal’s slightly included clarity rewards close viewing with intimate, personalized character. This is a gem that reflects refinement, a choice for someone who values subtlety as much as statement.
