Presenting a beautiful opaque 3.70 carat oval shape multi color opal, a striking Black Opal sourced from Ethiopia and offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 13.49 x 10.29 x 5.61 mm, it is fashioned in a classic cabochon cut to maximize the mesmerizing play of color, it has an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, the body shows a dark color intensity that makes the bright flashes of green and blue and purple stand out vividly, the polish is excellent, and the stone has not undergone any enhancement. The surface is smooth and well proportioned, the oval outline is ideal for many jewelry settings, and the opaque body tone provides a dramatic contrast that enhances the internal color flashes, this is a true Black Opal with strong color contrast and an attractive overall presence.

As a gemstone professional I recommend this opal for a centerpiece ring, a pendant, or a bespoke pair of earrings where the dark body tone and lively color pattern can be displayed to full advantage, the cabochon dome will catch light and reveal different color flashes as the wearer moves, settings in 18 karat gold or platinum will complement the depth of color, and a bezel or low profile prong setting will protect the dome while showing off the opal, because this opal is eye clean and untreated it is both beautiful and natural, it is a solid choice for collectors and designers seeking genuine Ethiopian Black Opal, please handle with care since opal is softer than many gemstones, avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear.
