This natural black opal from Lightning Ridge is everything collectors and jewellers look for — strong green and violet fire, an unmistakably dark N3 body tone, and a fully natural cut with no treatment or backing. Weighing 1.1 carats, the cabochon is compact but impactful, displaying shifting colour in nearly all lighting and angles.

The patterning is a blend of broad flash and finer chaff-like detail, with saturated green dominating and flickers of violet catching the light across its surface. Its elongated freeform shape makes it especially appealing for custom jewellery — whether as a pendant centrepiece or a one-off designer ring.

Sourced directly from Australia’s most famous opal fields and left untreated, this is the kind of solid opal that makes its mark. Whether for setting or safekeeping, it’s a choice addition.
