This 2.2ct natural black opal from Lightning Ridge displays vivid red green and blue fire that radiates with incredible intensity.
The surface is packed with brilliant color bursts in a striking teardrop shape, giving the gem a lively and powerful character.
Every angle reveals more color with a dynamic interplay between bold red flashes and deep greens anchored on a dark base tone.

The back of the opal is natural and polished without any fillers or doublets.
While it features a light inclusion pattern, this stone is a completely natural solid opal and not backed with cream colored potch.
The backing contains darker host rock naturally formed with traces of white silica from the surrounding matrix, making it a stable and genuine Lightning Ridge black opal.

This stone’s low dome and excellent polish enhance its reflective qualities and allow the fire to be easily appreciated even in lower light.
It is ideal for collectors seeking unique black opals as well as designers who need a premium stone for a luxury ring or pendant setting.

Whether you are crafting custom jewelry or expanding a fine opal collection this Lightning Ridge gemstone brings a natural spectrum of color to any design.
Its play of color is not just beautiful but unforgettable.
