This exceptional black opal from Lightning Ridge displays brilliant neon green, teal and blue fire that explodes across the surface with incredible intensity. The colors have that electric, almost fluorescent quality that makes Lightning Ridge black opals the most sought after in the world. What makes this stone particularly special is that both sides are fully polished to gem quality, meaning you can see vivid fire from the front and back, creating a unique three dimensional effect that's rare to find in black opals.

At 14.7 x 9.3 x 3.5 mm and weighing 2.66 carats, this oval black opal has substantial size and presence for statement jewelry. The dark body tone provides the perfect backdrop for the neon fire to really glow and catch light brilliantly. The oval shape is classic and versatile, working beautifully for rings where it makes a bold focal point, or pendants where having both sides polished means you get gorgeous color play visible whether it's face up or flipped over. This is premium quality Lightning Ridge material with the kind of bright fire that collectors and jewelry designers actively seek.

This is completely natural solid black opal with no treatment, straight from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. Not a doublet or triplet, just authentic Australian black opal exactly as it formed. The combination of bright neon colors, dark body tone, and polished front and back makes this stone exceptional and unusual. It would look incredible set in platinum or gold with diamonds, or as a standalone statement piece that lets the opal's fire shine from every angle.

As the official opal October birthstone, this stone represents hope and creativity. The brilliant neon fire and substantial size make it perfect for fine jewelry or as an investment piece for serious collectors. This black opal offers museum quality color and craftsmanship at competitive pricing.

This black opal will arrive securely packaged in an Opal Galaxy luxury gift box, ready for professional jewelry setting or safe storage.
