AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The King of Opals:

From my personal Opalwanted collection I bring you this spectacular Australian Black Opal — a green-blue flame with a red flash. This oval cabochon of black opal displays a vibrant, deep play of color: intense greens and abyssal blues dominate the surface, with red and orange flashes emerging as fiery witnesses. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its inner scene with the 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: Fine jewelry, collection, or as a testimony 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.
- Play of colors vibrant and striking.
- Color: Black and Multicolor
- Weight: 6Ct
- Measurements: approx 16mm x 12mm

You can see a short description below:

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 mythology, 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 guard within it the fire of Prometheus, the glow of Aphrodite's stars, and the depth of the mysteries of Hades. Each flash is like a myth revived: a hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who behold it with reverence.

It is not just a precious stone, but a legendary talisman, symbol of power, protection, and ancient magic. A jewel worthy of emperors and heroes, ready to find a new guardian in this auction.
