Description from the seller
This Black Opal Cabochon shows a powerful, predominantly green play-of-color over a dark blue to deep green base. Bright neon greens and reds cloud across the stone's interior, creating strong optical depth. The color play appears clear, rich, and vibrant, and changes noticeably with the light incidence.
The smooth-polished cabochon shape emphasizes the opal's natural structure and provides a uniform, high-quality surface. A striking natural one-of-a-kind with a calm, noble aura, ideal for fine jewelry or as a collector's piece.

In some of the pictures the stone was backlit to show you the stone's color.
For some stones we held a light under the stone to better show the color of the pieces. And color variations may occur, as every computer, monitor, and cellphone can display colors with different qualities.
