This magnificent Lightning Ridge opal weighs 9.00 carats and measures 13.9mm wide × 20.5mm high × 4.9mm thick. Hand cut and polished by Gaz using traditional lapidary craftsmanship, it boasts an elegant oval cabochon shape that maximises the stone’s intense colour play.

Brilliant flashes of vivid red, green, violet, orange, and yellow dominate the broadflash pattern, creating a mesmerising spectacle under different lighting conditions. The vivid play-of-colour is framed beautifully against a light crystal base, making this stone a standout.

Sourced directly from Lightning Ridge, Australia’s most famous opal mining area, this opal carries the prestige of its origin, offering breathtaking beauty and collector-grade quality. Minor natural inclusions are present but do not detract from the stone’s overall impact.

Ideal for jewellers, collectors, and investors, this opal is perfect for a bespoke pendant or a luxury custom-designed piece. Celebrate Australia's national gemstone with this premium Lightning Ridge treasure.
