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 flame with red testimony.
This oval cabochon of black opal displays a vibrant and deep play of color: intense greens and abyssal blues dominate the surface, with red and orange flashes emerging as witnesses of fire. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its inner scene with utmost dignity.
Origin: Australia (Lightning Ridge)
Type: Natural black opal, untreated
Shape: Oval cabochon
Play of color: Very vivid, visible from multiple angles
Ideal use: High jewelry, collection, or as a centerpiece 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 stone with a dark base.
- Vibrant and striking play of colors.
- Color: Black and Multicolor
- Weight: 5.15 ct
- Measurements: 14 mm x 12 mm x 5 mm
It is said that the ancient Greeks believed opal to be Zeus’s solidified tears, fallen from Olympus after beholding the beauty of the universe. In Roman myth, it was said that this gem contained the hope of all colors, a fragment of the rainbow trapped in stone.
This black opal, with red, green, and blue flashes, seems to harbor within its interior the fire of Prometheus, the radiance of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depth of Hades’s mysteries. Each glint is like a myth revived: a hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who contemplate it with reverence.
It is not merely a precious stone; it is 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.
