Description

Over the last six years, I've dedicated my lens to capturing the mesmerizing play of colors within these precious gems. In any lighting, these natural gemstones reveal a stunning spectrum of hues, each with its unique vibrancy. This particular opal is striking , meticulously hand-faceted into an elegant oval cut, boasting a total weight of 1.55 carats. Crafting an opal like this is no small feat; most opt for the easier cabochon Dome cut. But precision is everything when it comes to revealing opal's true beauty, and this gemstone is the result of getting it just right. Notably, this opal exhibits a captivating chaff patterning. Opal is a lightweight gem, which means you get more stone for your carat. It measures an impressive 9.80 x 7.80 x 5.20 mm, making it perfect for a pendant, a ring, or a treasured addition to your collection. What sets this opal apart is its breathtaking display of neon blue, teal, aqua, and green, with the pavilion revealing vibrant red, orange, and yellow hues. Faceting opals is a rare art due to its difficulty, and even a small mistake can be costly. Black opal, being the most coveted variety worldwide, truly colourful with its dark base, bringing out its full-color spectrum.
