Product Information
Australian Lightning Ridge opal 2.03ct 9.8x8.6mm oval cabochon. The gemstone was mined and cut in Australia.
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.
