3.94ct Natural Ethiopian Black Opal pear cabochon front view | SARATTI

Description

This natural Ethiopian Black Opal displays a dark blackish-red bodycolour with strong visible play-of-colour across its pear-shaped form. Red and orange dominate the surface, while smaller areas of green and subtle blue appear through the darker ground, creating vivid contrast and depth.

Fashioned as a pear cabochon, the gemstone presents a smooth domed surface, a rounded lower end and a tapering point that gives the outline a graceful vertical profile. Its polished finish allows the shifting colour to move across the face of the stone, while the darker body tone supports the visibility of the brighter flashes.

Weighing 3.94 carats and measuring 14.2 × 10.1 mm, this Black Opal is suited to a protective pendant, drop-style jewel or carefully supported bespoke ring. The dark bodycolour has been produced or enhanced through smoke treatment, disclosed in the gemstone details.
