1.57ct Black Blue/Green Lightning Ridge Opal Oval Cabochon. 

From the opal fields of Lightning Ridge, this remarkable solid black opal showcases the depth and drama that define some of Australia’s finest material. Cut as an oval cabochon with a low dome, its shape highlights a vibrant play of color that moves effortlessly across the surface.

Rolling flashes of green, blue, and purple shift into a soft, floral-like pattern at the center, then fade into a quiet, near-black crescent along one edge — a striking, natural contrast. With one corner of the stone nearly transparent, it is especially well suited to a be set on a dark or black backing to maximize its depth and beauty. Measuring approximately 11.3mm x 9.3mm with a 2.2mm dome height, this one-of-a-kind opal is a spectacular focal stone, perfect for a truly distinctive design.
