Black Opal Doublet
About this stone
Black opal is the rarest and most prized variety of opal — its dark body makes the green, blue, and red flashes of its play-of-color stand out, and the finest material comes from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia. A doublet is a thin slice of that opal bonded to a dark backing, which deepens the colors and lets a thin stone be set into jewelry. Traditionally opal is associated with creativity, imagination, and inspiration, and it is October’s birthstone.

Size: 12 x 14 mm
Potential: ring or necklace
