7.66 Ct. Semi-Black Opal from Australia

There is a quiet universe held within this stone, a single celestial heart from the Australian earth, offered to you by The Natural Gemstone Company, one beautiful opaque 7.66 carat oval shape multi color opal measuring 18.07 x 13.15 x 4.47 mm, a tablet cut that cradles a mosaic of light beneath a gently domed surface. This is a Semi-Black Opal, its base tone a soft shadow that makes the colors breathe with a medium intense color intensity, and under the gaze of careful inspection it bears a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to nature's subtle fingerprints. The polish is excellent, each curve smoothed until the colors awaken, and the gem is presented as a triplet enhancement, a loving construction of a thin opal slice sealed beneath a protective cap, a design chosen to magnify the play of fire and ensure the gem endures as an heirloom. Imagine the opal laying warm against skin, an oval that is both modest and brave, a weight of 7.66 carats that speaks with presence without presumption.

Lift the gem into light and watch tiny auroras unfurl, green flashes that scatter like spring leaves, cool blues that drift like twilight over a lake, and rare hints of red and violet that blush like a secret told in candlelight. The tablet cut gives a shallow, intimate stage for these colors to perform, a surface that invites touch as much as sight, and the multi color pattern gathers like a constellation across the darkened canvas of the semi black body tone. For an engagement ring, a pendant held over a heart, or a ring meant to mark a life changing promise, this opal carries poetry in its palette, a living panorama that shifts with every turn. The dimensions of 18.07 x 13.15 x 4.47 mm make it wonderfully versatile, large enough to command attention in a bespoke setting, yet measuring thoughtfully for comfort and daily wear, particularly when set in a bezel or protective mount that honors the tablet cut and the triplet construction.

We present this opal not only as an object of beauty, but as a promise of provenance and care, an Australian origin that speaks of ancient seas and patient stones, prepared by hands that respect both tradition and modern enhancement techniques. As a triplet, it offers the practical benefit of a durable quartz cap that intensifies color and guards the delicate opal layer beneath, a sensible choice when the intent is to wear the gem close to life and to memory. Our gem specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company can advise on settings that honor its structure, suggesting low bezel settings for daily wear, custom halos to frame its multi color heart, or delicate three stone arrangements to let it sing as the centerpiece. We will describe any inclusions honestly, explain care to avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperature shock, and offer guidance on cleaning to preserve the excellent polish and the medium intense color intensity for generations. If you envision this Semi-Black Opal set into a ring that will bear your initials, or a pendant that will whisper of an important day, reach out and let us help arrange a viewing, or guide you through bespoke mounting options, shipping, and certification, so that this small universe may become the treasured story you carry forward.
