This exquisite Lightning Ridge Black Opal weighs 7.03 carats and measures 12.8mm wide × 16.4mm high × 4.9mm thick. Hand cut by Gaz using traditional lapidary techniques, it presents a superb freeform oval shape, polished carefully to reveal the opal’s stunning natural brilliance.

Vibrant flashes of green, blue, and red dance vividly across its dark body tone (approximately N4–N5), creating a mesmerising broadflash colour pattern that shifts beautifully under changing light. This stone is a genuine piece of Lightning Ridge history, sourced and shaped with precision and deep respect for Australia's opal heritage.

Perfect for jewellery designers, collectors, and investors, this black opal exhibits the outstanding play-of-colour Lightning Ridge is famous for. It would make a breathtaking centrepiece for a custom high-end pendant or exclusive jewellery piece. With no visible inclusions on the face and only very slight matrix on the back, it remains an exceptional investment-grade gemstone for serious opal enthusiasts.
