Deep Current Black Australian Opal

The Deep Current Black Australian Opal is a loose opal perfect for opal jewellery. Buy it as-is or customise it into a handcrafted opal ring or pendant using your choice of gold or silver. About This Opal This solid black opal from Lightning Ridge, Australia, has a rich and fluid play-of-colour that moves like a deep current beneath the surface. Vibrant electric greens and blues sweep across the face of the stone, creating a layered, almost oceanic effect that feels both bold and elegant. The darker body tone enhances the colour contrast beautifully, giving the opal a sophisticated and luminous presence that stands out in any fine jewellery design. Opal Details Carat: X Dimensions: X Origin: Lightning Ridge, Australia Body Tone: N5 (black opal) Brightness: B3/5 Cut: Medium dome, oval Setting Recommendations This opal’s elongated oval shape and flowing colour pattern make it incredibly versatile for a range of setting styles. A bezel setting will provide maximum protection and enhance the depth of the colour, while a prong setting will allow more light to enter and emphasise the movement within the stone. It can be set vertically or east-west depending on the desired look, and all metal options including yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and sterling silver will complement its deep blue and green tones beautifully.
