9.09 Ct. Black Opal from Australia

Introducing a striking Black Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, one beautiful opaque 9.09 carat freeform shape multi color opal, dimensions 27.00 by 11.00 by 3.60 mm, cut not applicable, with intense color intensity and an excellent polish, enhancement doublets, origin Australia. This freeform piece displays deep oceanic blues and vibrant green flashes across a rich dark body tone, the play of color appearing vivid and alive as the light shifts. The opaque nature of the stone and its doublet enhancement are typical of many desirable Australian opals, the thin opal layer mounted on a darker backing to amplify color, producing a lively visual depth that is perfect for designers seeking dramatic, statement stones. The tapered freeform shape reads elegantly in both vertical and horizontal settings, making this opal versatile for a wide range of jewelry applications, from a sculptural pendant to a bespoke ring focal point.

As a gem expert at The Natural Gemstone Company, I recommend this Black Opal for collectors and designers who appreciate character and presence, the 9.09 carat weight offering substantial size without overwhelming a refined design. For mounting, consider a bezel or partial bezel to protect the edge and highlight the polished surface, and pair the stone with warm 14 or 18 karat gold to enhance the blue and green flashes, or with white gold or platinum for a cooler, contemporary look. Because the stone is a doublet, avoid prolonged exposure to heat, chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaners, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and store separate from harder gems to prevent abrasion.
