This black opal cabochon comes from Lightning Ridge, Australia, a world-renowned source of fine opals. It shows vivid green fire with secondary flashes of yellow and blue across a dark N5 body tone, giving excellent contrast and lively play of colour. At 1.2 carats, this natural solid opal is an ideal size for jewellery makers or collectors who want a genuine Australian opal with strong visual appeal.

Measuring approximately 9 × 7 mm, the stone has a domed oval cut and a clean polish, ready for setting into a bespoke ring or pendant. Its broad patches and pinpoint fire shift beautifully under light, creating flashes of green with hints of yellow and blue. This is a natural, untreated solid opal, not a doublet or triplet — making it both durable and desirable. Over 1 ct, Lightning Ridge opals of this quality are increasingly sought after.

Please note: colours may appear differently depending on lighting and screen settings.
