Black Crystal Opals

Australian black crystal opals from Lightning Ridge are among the most sought-after crystals in the world, renowned for their striking beauty and vibrant color play. These opals feature a translucent to semi-transparent body tone, allowing light to slightly filter through and create a stunning display of vivid colors, including deep blues, greens, and fiery reds. The unique geological conditions of Lightning Ridge contribute to the formation of these exceptional stones, which often exhibit a rich dark body tone / background that enhances their brilliance. Highly valued for both their aesthetic appeal and rarity, black crystal opals are a symbol of elegance, making them a favorite choice for fine jewelry such as in engagement rings and stunning pendants.
