This exceptional 13.5ct pear shape gem displays a mesmerising patchwork of colour that shifts dramatically with the light: electric greens dominate in one direction, then transform into vivid sky blues, sea blues, and greens as the stone moves. The play-of-colour is bold, broad, and deeply saturated — exactly what collectors and jewellers seek in a premium Lightning Ridge black opal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stone is thick, highly polished, and free of fractures. The natural lines of dark and lighter potch add character and authenticity to this one-of-a-kind gem.
