This 2.64ct black opal from Lightning Ridge showcases intense color play across a long teardrop shape.
Its magenta, multicolor fire patterns shift in soft clusters and bold flashes across a dark and clean base tone.
The surface shows excellent polish and brightness, revealing a cosmic mosaic effect.
Cut thin and flat, this metallic opal is ideal for bezel settings and low profile designs.
It lies close to the skin in pendants or sits flush in custom rings.
The back features natural potch and sandstone matrix, confirming its Australian origin and status as a solid black opal.
The fire remains bright from multiple angles, showing consistent performance in both daylight and artificial lighting.
This piece is perfect for high end jewelry settings or for display in a curated gem collection.
Its shape and brightness offer versatility while remaining rare and distinctive.
If you are sourcing a premium Australian black opal with organic pattern and strong multicolor fire, this gemstone offers lasting value and striking beauty.

I have bought several beautiful Australian opals from opalgalaxy and each one has been more beautiful than I ever could have expected. This will make a beautiful ring which I will have mounted in a shadow box type ring so the opal will be protected.

Arrived quickly. Absolutely beautiful opal. I'm so glad I decided to "go for it." This was a lot of money for me, but I think I have finally found the opal I've been looking for (after several tries). Thank you so much.

I purchased it from Japan. Since the owner was also Japan people, we were able to communicate with him in the Japanese, and he answered questions before purchasing, so I was able to wait for the arrival with peace of mind. In addition, it arrived earlier than originally planned and was carefully packed. Opal is also satisfied with the very beautiful quality almost exactly as pictured! Thank you again if you have any transactions.

This is so beautiful and delicate that I will be holding on to this set for a while. I will take a while for me the gain enough skill to attempt setting it. That's okay, because I still enjoy taking it out to look at it. I think I have a small cabochon that will match it nicely. If I can find a few more of different sizes I would have an amazing men's set. I think this would make a beautiful and subtle statement in a tie (slash) lapel pin which could also be worn as an ear ring if desired.
