Blue Black Opal with Imperfections, 4.05ct from Lighting Ridge, Australia Cabochon Pieces of opalized fossil shells4. 05ct, 13. 86x9. 77x5. 15mm, from Lighting Ridge, Australia. Brightness: 1. 5 of 5, subdued, quite directional; Body tone: N2, Black opal. Great size affordable black opal with cheeky blue purple fire showing up from some angles. It has some imperfections on the surface, but I would consider this a good opal to wrap or as a learning experience to set larger opals for new silver gold smiths.
