Black Crystal Opal
Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, Australia
An oval cabochon which is a classic for the region: displaying a multi-color play-of-fire of flagstone and rolling flash pattern with a small patch of Chinese writing pattern in red in one area. When the opal is held to transmitted light, the body color shows a deep red (which is termed black in the opal trade) with mid-grey potch to the reverse side. An excellent choice for the collector. Weighing approximately 7.51 carats and measuring 16.53 x 10.26 x 6.50mm
