Description from the seller
The King of Opals:
From my personal collection I bring you this spectacular Australian black opal, a red Ilama cabochon. This oval cabochon of black opal presents a vibrant, deep play of color: intense reds and greens emerge as witnesses of fire. The stone has been hand-polished to reveal its inner scene with utmost dignity.

Type: Natural, untreated black opal
Shape: Teardrop cabochon
Play of color: Very vivid, visible from multiple angles
Ideal use: High jewelry, collection, or as a testimonial stone
This opal is not offered as a simple gem, but as an act of recognition. A contained flame, ready to be mounted or kept as a ritual scene.
-Origin: Australia
-Precious gemstone with a dark base.
-Play of colors vibrant and striking.
-Color: Black and Multicolor

It is said that the ancient Greeks believed opal to be Zeus’s solidified tears, fallen from Olympus after gazing upon 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 radiance of Aphrodite’s stars, and the depth of Hades’s mysteries. Each gleam is like a myth reborn: a hidden universe that only reveals itself to those who contemplate it with reverence.
Not merely a precious stone, but 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.
