Description from the seller
The King of Opals:
From my personal collection I bring you this tear (Teardrop) of Australian black Opal — green-blue flame with red testimony. This Teardrop cabochon of black opal showcases a vibrant and deep play of color: intense greens and abyssal blues dominate the surface, with red and orange sparks emerging as witnesses of fire. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its inner scene with the utmost dignity.
Origin: Australia (Lightning Ridge)
Shape: Teardrop cabochon
Play of color: Very vivid, visible from multiple angles
Ideal uses: High 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.
- Precious gem with dark base.
- Vibrant and striking play of colors.
- Color: Black and Multicolor
- Weight: 5 Ct
- Measurements: approx 16 mm x 12 mm
You can see a short description in a small shorts video below:
The ancient Greeks believed that opal was Zeus’s solidified tear, fallen from Olympus after beholding 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 red, green, and blue specks, seems to hold within it the fire of Prometheus, the brilliance of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depth of Hades’ mysteries. Each glint is like a myth revived: an unseen universe that only reveals itself to those who behold it with reverence.
It is not just 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.
