5.17 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

Hold this poem of the earth in your hands, a Black Opal born of Australian nights, an opaque 5.17 carat trillion shape multi color opal that seems to hold the aurora within its heart. The dimensions are 15.05 x 14.99 x 4.10 mm, tablet cut to flatter the shifting hues, a surface with excellent polish that sweeps light into ribbons of green, blue, and occasional fire orange. Its clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which only deepens its charm by giving the colors a secretive depth. There is no enhancement, a pure whisper of nature preserved, and the intense color intensity makes every angle a new stanza of light. Picture a small triangular sky, rounded at the edges by skilled hands, where verdant flashes drift like leaves and cobalt tides fold into emerald waves, a gem that speaks in color rather than words.

Imagine this Black Opal set as the heart of an engagement ring, a pendant to rest over the chest, or an heirloom to be passed like a story. The trillion shape reads as modern and intimate, the tablet cut as timeless and sensuous, and the play of color is bold enough to be noticed yet nuanced enough to feel like a private memory between two people. At The Natural Gemstone Company we cherish stones that carry their origins and their truths, and this Australian opal is a testament to that promise. Let me guide you through choices for a setting that will cradle its light, or arrange to view it in hand so the intense color intensity and excellent polish may sing to you directly. This is more than a gem, it is a compact of wonder, waiting to become the piece that marks a vow, a celebration, or a quiet, enduring love.
