38.83 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

This exceptional Black Opal from Australia offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare and striking collector gem, weighing 38.83 carat, with an elegant oval outline and precise dimensions of 36.80 x 23.40 x 7.10 mm, presented in a tablet cut that maximizes surface color and depth, translucent with vivid multi color play, graded eye clean at standard viewing distance, showing intense color intensity and finished to an excellent polish, and importantly it is completely natural with no enhancement, making it immediately superior to many market alternatives that rely on treatments or assembled pieces. The tablet cut here preserves the stone thickness and gives a broad expanse for the opal to flash, a major advantage over thin slivers or heavily domed cabochons that can dilute color brilliance. Compared to common white opal or light opal offerings, this Black Opal presents deeper contrast and richer blues and greens that remain saturated from many viewing angles, adding both visual impact and intrinsic value for jewelry design and investment.

When buyers compare this gem to typical market choices, the differences are clear, many sellers offer doublets and triplets which mimic color at low price, or they supply treated stones and synthetics that lose value over time, whereas this Australian Black Opal is a single solid piece, untreated, and eye clean, characteristics that preserve rarity and resale appeal. The size and weight at nearly 39 carat set it apart from the usual smaller specimens, offering designers and collectors a canvas for signature rings, pendants, or bespoke settings that showcase its broad play of color, while the excellent polish means less finishing work and a superior face up appearance straight from our inventory. For customers seeking a gem that combines natural authenticity, vibrant and consistent color, and a premium tactile finish, this opal from The Natural Gemstone Company outperforms typical market options in quality, long term value, and uniqueness, and we are happy to advise on setting recommendations and provenance documentation to help you feel confident in choosing this standout Black Opal.
