A natural black opal cabochon with vivid green flash from Lightning Ridge, Australia. This polished oval stone weighs 0.16 carats and measures 8 x 5 mm, displaying a true N3 dark base that enhances its play of colour. Its domed surface and flat base make it suitable for fine jewellery or display in a collection.

A bright green flash dominates the face, with hints of yellow and violet depending on the viewing angle. Though small in size, the strong contrast between the body tone and colour play gives this cabochon presence beyond its weight. As a genuine solid opal, untreated and cut from natural rough, it offers both locality value and collectable quality.
