Product description
A natural black opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia, showing flashes of red, green, orange and blue fire against a dark N3 body tone. This is a small but lively opal with a pleasing balance of colour and contrast, offering strong brightness under good lighting. The surface is semi-polished with some natural texture still visible, giving the piece a more natural finish rather than a full commercial polish.
This opal would suit collectors looking for authentic Australian material, or jewellery makers and wire wrappers seeking a piece with real character. Red fire is especially sought-after in Lightning Ridge black opals, and this piece carries that rarity at an affordable size.
As always with opals, colours may vary slightly depending on the light source and angle. This piece was photographed under bright lighting to bring out the full range of fire.
