It's over 20mm long! And full of color! 5.80ct Black Opal from Ethiopia!

Woah! This is a huge opal! And it's not just big, its also got color that rivals its size! This highly expressive opal starts with a highly desired silky black hue with strong saturation that is still translucent. This is important because even though it gives it an opaque look, it still allows light to penetrate the body, creating a well developed and layered play of color effect. This also effects the colors, giving them a beautiful richness as they surface. The greens are a bit deeper, and the reds, oranges and yellows are given an added intensity. It's gorgeous. And the size! Since opals have less density than other gems, your 5.80 carats turns into a whopping 20.6mm x 11.2mm x 5.9mm. That's a huge gem! Sourced from Ethiopia. Untreated!
