Presenting an exceptional Black Opal from Australia, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This transparent, multi color opal weighs 4.03 carats and is fashioned into a refined cushion shape, measuring 14.11 x 7.56 x 3.71 mm, with a tablet cut that maximizes surface flash and broad play of color. The stone displays intense color intensity across blue, green and subtle violet flashes that shift with light and angle, creating a vibrant and lively appearance. The polish is excellent, producing a smooth, satiny surface that enhances the opal's transparency and fire, and allows the colors to breathe and sparkle. As a tablet cut opal the gem sits with a gentle flat domed face that is ideal for modern and classical settings alike, offering bold color impact while maintaining a low profile for comfortable wear.
This opal has been assembled as a doublet, an accepted enhancement that pairs a thin slice of precious opal to a dark backing to emphasize contrast and depth, and to preserve the natural thin material. The enhancement is disclosed and common for opals of this character, and it allows you to enjoy intense black opal appearance with improved durability for jewelry use. Because this is a doublet, proper setting and gentle care are recommended, avoiding prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. This piece is perfect for a striking ring, a pendant that showcases the tablet surface, or a bespoke design that benefits from the stone's rectangular cushion proportions. At The Natural Gemstone Company we provide detailed images and measurements so you can evaluate proportions and color orientation before setting. We stand behind the quality and disclosure of every gem, and our gem specialists can advise on mounting options to protect the doublet backing and to accentuate the opal's intense play of color. If you are seeking a distinctive Australian Black Opal with strong color, transparent body, and excellent polish, this 4.03 carat cushion tablet opal is an exceptional choice, and we are ready to assist with provenance details, certification recommendations, and secure shipping.
