4.50 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

In the sun-soaked landscapes of coastal Australia, beneath the vast expanse of azure sky, lies the hidden world from which our captivating creation is born. This world, threaded into the very bedrock of the Great Southern Land, has cradled the rare and enchanting semi-black opal that graces our collection. As sunlight dances across the earth, it ignites the veins of magic within the soil, whispering secrets of time and pressure known only to nature itself. This opal, now meticulously crafted by the skilled hands of artisans, carries within it the essence of its birthplace, showcasing a dance of colors that rivals that of the Northern Lights.

With a translucent visage that glimmers with an evocative palette, our 4.50-carat opal captures the heart at first glance. Fashioned into a refined fancy shape, measuring precisely 17.16 x 12.53 x 3.69 mm, it is a masterpiece of nature’s whims and man’s invention. Its canvas, a mysterious tableau of multicolored fire, echoes hues from deepest blue to radiant green, weaving through soft pinks and opulent purples. This symphony of colors is framed by an exquisite tablet cut, a testament to the gem cutter’s vision and craftsmanship, reflecting the hidden depths and shifting shades akin to a captured sunset.

The semi-black opal gleams with intense color, a vivid testament to its classification that marks it distinct among its peers. Its clarity, graded as very slightly included, tells a story of purity interrupted ever so faintly by nature’s hand. Each inclusion is not a flaw but a signature of its origin, a reminder of the earth’s primordial embrace and the passage of countless eons. The gem’s excellent polish ensures that it not only captures light but bends it, refracts it, sending it spiraling through its depths to emerge anew, more radiant for having traveled the journey.
