1.97ct Natural Ethiopian Black Opal pear cabochon front view | SARATTI

Description

This natural Ethiopian Fire Opal displays a warm orange bodycolour with golden and deeper red-orange variation across its oval form. Clearly visible flashes of green, yellow, orange and red emerge from separate areas of the gemstone, creating distinct play-of-colour against the dominant orange background.

Fashioned as an oval cabochon, the stone has a smoothly domed crown, softly rounded edges and a polished, uninterrupted surface. The broad dome allows the visible colour patches to shift in prominence between viewing angles while preserving the cabochon’s balanced outline and warm central bodycolour.

Weighing 3.09 carats and measuring 13.68 × 9.85 × 4.79 mm, the gemstone presents an elongated proportion suited to a protective pendant, carefully supported ring or bespoke collectable jewel. Its polished dome and exposed edges should be considered when developing the final setting.
