Description

Welcome to Splendid Specimens, Indulge in the mesmerizing beauty of black opal, a fascination that captivates not only me but also our fantastic community at Splendid Specimens. For over six years, I've sought to encapsulate the kaleidoscopic dance of colors found within black opals. It's a testament to the singular allure of capturing the ever-shifting play of colors in a single, still moment. This exquisite natural gemstone is a challenge to shape, and this particular piece, hand-faceted into a unique oval design, bears witness to its creation. At 1.55 carats, it unveils a vivid floral pattern with Chinese calligraphy pattern, that dances across the entire surface, a testament to the craftsmanship required to balance its intricate hues. The delicacy of faceting an opal is often underestimated. Creating a beautiful gemstone like this requires a delicate hand and a keen eye for depth and precision. Any small deviation might dim the brilliance of its vivacious shades or render it dull, making the successful creation of such a gemstone truly exceptional. With dimensions of 10.50 x 7.60 x 4.35 mm, this gemstone exudes a vivacious array of colors – vivid greens, aquas, blues, yellows, oranges, and even flashes of fiery red, each emerging and receding with the light's tender caress. Black opals, particularly ones with a dark base, present a canvas that truly ignites the stunning array of colors this gemstone is revered for. This stunning gemstone is set to be posted directly, ensuring a swift and complimentary arrival via express post for our patrons within Australia. At Splendid Specimens, we've just concluded selling a large and very unique collection of Black opal at the Bangkok gemstone and jewellery fair and it’s a privilege to unveil these freshly crafted black opals to our loyal local community. To those new to our Splendid Specimens family, welcome! Join us as we delve into the allure of new and exotic gemstones. Feel free to follow our store to stay updated on these mesmerizing finds.
