Description from the seller
Australian black opal — green-blue flame with red testimony.
This oval cabochon of black opal features a vibrant and deep play of color: intense greens and abyssal blues dominate the surface, with red and orange flashes emerging like flames. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its internal scene with utmost dignity.
Origin: Australia (Lightning Ridge)
Type: natural black opal, untreated
Shape: Oval cabochon
Color game: Very vivid, visible from multiple angles.
Ideal use: high jewelry, collection, or as a testimonial stone.
This opal is not offered as a simple gem, but as an act of recognition. A contained flame, ready to be mounted or kept as a ritual scene.
Precious stone with a dark base.
A game of vibrant and eye-catching colors.
- Color: Black and Multicolor
- Weight: 4.5 Ct
You can watch a video below the description, with direct lighting, showing all its splendor:
It is said that the ancient Greeks believed that opal was the solidified tears of Zeus, fallen from Olympus after contemplating the beauty of the universe. In Roman mythology, it was said that this gemstone contained the hope of all colors, a fragment of the rainbow trapped in stone.
This black opal, with flashes of red, green, and blue, seems to hold within it the fire of Prometheus, the glow of Aphrodite's stars, and the depths of Hades' mysteries. Each flash is like a myth reborn: a hidden universe that is only revealed to those who gaze upon it with reverence.
It is not just a gemstone, but a legendary talisman, a symbol of power, protection, and ancient magic. A jewel worthy of emperors and heroes, ready to find a new guardian in this auction.
