Description

Welcome to Splendid Specimens. Opal, with its distinctive chemical structure (SiO₂·nH₂O), is a treasure formed by nature over millions of years through intricate processes beneath the earth’s surface. This naturally earth-mined black opal weighs an impressive 4.15 carats and measures 4.55 x 9 x 5.30 mm, showcasing an entrancing play of color that shimmers and shifts with movement, as seen in the photographs and video. Its custom cut allows light to interact beautifully with the silica within, enhancing the rich and varied colors that make opals so enchanting. This solid black opal is a marvel of visual artistry, where the unique internal structure of silica spheres causes a dynamic and vibrant display of color—a phenomenon exclusive to opals. Unlike traditional gemstones known for brilliance, opals captivate with their intricate patterns and the mesmerizing fluidity of colors that respond to every shift in light.
