A genuine black opal cabochon from Lightning Ridge, Australia, with bright green flash across a dark body tone. Weighing 0.65 carats and measuring 7.5 x 5 mm, this solid natural opal is cut as a polished oval cabochon with a domed face and flat base, suitable for jewellery making or as a collector’s gem.

The play of colour is strongest under direct light, showing vivid green with yellow and blue highlights depending on the angle. Photographs were taken under strong lighting to capture the full fire of the stone — colours may appear subtler in softer or indirect light. Though modest in size, its contrast against the dark N6–N7 body tone gives the opal a bold face-up presence. Untreated and natural, this stone offers both provenance and visual quality for buyers seeking an authentic Lightning Ridge opal.
