Gemstone Profile

Mined in the world renowned fields of Lightning Ridge, Australia, this solid black opal is an extraordinary collector specimen. The Chinese writing pattern is among the rarest formations in the entire gem world, ranking alongside harlequin for scarcity. Millions of years of geological formation aligned natural silica spheres into sharp, intersecting strokes that resemble authentic calligraphic scripture. The solid black base provides extreme contrast, making each green and teal stroke flash brilliantly as light glides across the polished dome.
