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 red fire. 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 as witnesses of fire. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its inner scene with utmost dignity.
Origin: Australia (Lightning Ridge)
Shape: Oval cabochon
Play of color: Very vivid, visible from multiple angles
Ideal use: high-end 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.
- Gem with dark base.
- Vibrant and striking play of colors.
- Color: Black and Multicolor
- Weight: 4.5 Ct
- Measurements: Approximately 16mm x 12mm
You can see a short video below the description:
It is said that the ancient Greeks believed opal was Zeus’s solidified tears, fallen from Olympus after beholding the beauty of the universe. In Roman mythology, 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 its core the fire of Prometheus, the glow of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depth of Hades’ mysteries. Each gleam is like a myth revived: an hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who behold it with reverence.
Not just a precious stone, it is a legendary talisman, symbol of power, protection, and ancestral magic. A jewel worthy of emperors and heroes, ready to find a new guardian in this auction.
