Australian Black Opals
Black opals from Lightning Ridge are the most valuable and sought-after opals in the world. Known for their dark body tone and vibrant colour play, these gems offer exceptional contrast and fire. Every piece in this collection has been chosen for its quality, pattern, and presence, whether it was cut by me or sourced already finished.
Many of the black opals you see here were once raw stones that I transformed by hand using both modern and traditional lapidary methods. Some were cut live on TikTok, where you can watch the exact moment colour and shape come to life. Others have been carefully purchased from trusted miners and cutters who share the same high standards.
Each opal is unique, and none are selected from commercial parcels or bulk lots. Over 90 percent are finished by me, ensuring they meet a standard that reflects years of experience and attention to detail. Whether you are a collector, jeweller or just starting your opal journey, a Lightning Ridge black opal is a true Australian treasure worth owning.
