AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The King of Opals:
From my personal collection Opalwanted I bring you this spectacular Australian black opal — green-blue fire with red testimony.
This oval black opal cabochon presents a vibrant and deep play of color: intense greens and abyssal blues dominate the surface, with flashes of red and orange emerging as witnesses to fire. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its inner scene with utmost dignity.
Origin: Australia (Lightning Ridge)
Type: Natural black opal, untreated
Form: Oval cabochon
Play of color: Very lively, visible from multiple angles
Ideal use: High-end jewelry, collection, or as a talisman stone
This opal is not offered as a mere gem, but as an act of recognition. A contained flame, ready to be mounted or kept as a ritual scene.
- Origin: Australia
- Precious gem with a dark base.
- Vibrant and striking play of colors.
- Color: Black and Multicolor
- Weight: 4.71 ct
- Measurements: 13 mm x 10 mm x 6 mm
It is told that the ancient Greeks believed opal was Zeus’s solidified teardrop, fallen from Olympus after beholding the beauty of the universe. In Roman myth, it was said that this gem held the hope of all colors, a fragment of the rainbow trapped in stone.
This black opal, with red, green and blue flashes, seems to guard within it the fire of Prometheus, the radiance of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depths of Hades’s mysteries. Each spark is like a myth revived: a hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who gaze upon it with reverence.
It is not merely a gemstone, but a legendary talisman, a symbol of power, protection, and ancestral magic. A jewel worthy of emperors and heroes, ready to find a new guardian in this auction.
