This Lightning Ridge Nobby Opal weighs an impressive 11.40 carats and measures 13.3mm wide × 17.3mm tall × 6.9mm thick. With a classic Cabochon Cut, it boasts exceptional clarity and an evenly curved dome, enhancing both its structure and surface brilliance.

The gem is flawless, free of any inclusions or imperfections, making it an excellent choice for collectors or high-end jewellery designers. The vibrant Pinfire pattern dances with colours of red, green, and electric blue, with occasional flashes of violet and aqua — making this a visually captivating piece from every angle.

Sourced from Lightning Ridge, one of Australia’s most prized opal fields, this opal was acquired as part of a private investment collection. Its top-tier quality and clarity position it confidently in the investment-grade category, and it's backed by Garry’s reputation for quality and transparency in selection and cutting.

Highlights:

  • Flawless with no inclusions

  • Classic Nobby origin from Lightning Ridge

  • Investment grade – not a bulk parcel opal

  • Strong multicolour Pinfire pattern across dome
