Product Information
Australian Lightning Ridge black opal 2.00ct 9.38x8.16x4.36mm oval
cabochon with flashfire play of color. The gemstone was mined and cut in
Australia. The stone has been appraised by Craig Lynch G.G. for $6,000.00.
Densely laden, visible brush strokes of light and color in this gem evoke the feel of an impressionist artist's masterpiece. For the opal connoisseur, the natural palette of color that resides within this high domed symmetrical oval cabochon, along with a black background and the final qualification of brilliance, fulfill all the requirements necessary to make this Lightning Ridge black opal worthy of any fine opal collection. Included with this natural masterpiece is a Craig Lynch appraisal that gives it an estimated retail replacement value of $6,000.
Ancient Roman scholar and author Pliny the Elder once wrote "There is in them a softer fire than the Ruby, there is the brilliant purple of the Amethyst, and the sea green of the Emerald - all shining together in incredible union..." What a magnificent tribute to Opal, often called the Queen of Gems. Prized for its unique and fiery play of color phenomenon, no opal is more treasured than black opal, especially those found in the Lightning Ridge mining fields of southeastern Australia. After precious black opals were discovered there in the early 20th century, Lightning Ridge quickly became the world's major source of the finest black opal. The most coveted of all opal varieties, black opal is called the "king of opals". Its dark background color sets the spectral colors ablaze, much like a storm cloud behind a rainbow. Today, the Lightning Ridge fields yield little of these precious opals, which has only led to its increased desirability among collectors across the globe.
