Ethiopian Black Opal

An Ethiopian black opal cut as a classic oval cabochon, its dark body tone throwing a striking play-of-color across green, with flashes of red and gold shifting as the stone turns. Black opal is prized above all for exactly this contrast — the darker the base, the more electric the fire — and this stone delivers it in full across the whole face.
