Hello and welcome to splendid specimens So it’s no secret that I absolutely adore black opal and so do all of you fantastic family at splendid specimens. I have been photographing black opal for around six years and there is something very special about capturing that colour play in a still shot. In any form of light, the natural gemstone will produce different colours with different levels of vibrancy. This gemstone has been hand faceted into an oval cut design with a total current weight of 1.90 carat. It is no secret that faceting a Opal is extremely difficult. Most people opt for cutting a cabochon Dome as it is much easier to control the colour. Cutting too deep or not deep enough will result in a very bland gemstone. Getting it right means that you will produce a gemstone like this. This gemstone displays that striking chaff patterning. Opal is a light material that means you get a lot of gemstone and size for the carat weight. Measuring an impressive 10 X 7 X 5.35 mm Absolutely ideal for a pendant or ring or to simply add to your collection.
