Product description
This natural Lightning Ridge opal features vivid green fire dancing across a dark N5 base; a rare find in this size class. With its excellent shape, bright play-of-colour, and clean finish, this 1.2ct solid opal is ideal for jewellery or for collectors looking for something small but genuinely special.
Cut as an oval cabochon and sourced directly from Australia’s most prestigious opal fields, it shows a high coverage of colour and a nicely domed surface. This is a solid, natural opal from Lightning Ridge; not a doublet or triplet, just a clean cabochon ready for setting or display.
