About Dark Opal

Dark opal sits between black opal and light opal on the body tone scale, with a dark grey to dark olive body that dramatically amplifies play-of-colour. The dark background creates a striking contrast that makes colours appear to leap from the stone — golds glow warmer, greens appear more vivid, and blues and purples take on an almost electric intensity. This contrast effect is why dark and black opals are the most prized varieties among collectors and gemmologists worldwide.

Jewellery Ready

Professionally polished and ready to be set directly into a ring, pendant, brooch, or earring. The warm gold and green tones pair beautifully with yellow or rose gold settings, while the blue and purple flashes sing against white gold or silver.

Care Instructions

Opal contains water and should be protected from extreme heat, prolonged dryness, and sudden temperature changes. Store in a padded box. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and harsh chemicals.
