Australian Black Opal

Natural Australian black opal is the rarest variety of precious opal on Earth, mined almost exclusively in Lightning Ridge, New South Wales. Characterized by its dark gray to jet black body tone, this dark base acts as a natural canvas that amplifies the contrast and brilliance of its play of color. Unlike composite doublets or triplets, every black opal in this collection is a 100 percent natural, untreated solid gemstone.
