Lightning Ridge Black Potch Opal Cameo Figurine Carving 969cts

An extraordinary large-scale cameo figurine hand-carved from natural black potch opal, ethically mined at Lightning Ridge, New South Wales — Australia's most celebrated opal field. Weighing an impressive 969cts, this piece showcases exceptional craftsmanship and the deep, dramatic beauty of Lightning Ridge black potch. A true statement piece for the serious collector or a centrepiece for any luxury interior.

Cameos have been prized by collectors and royalty for centuries — Queen Victoria and Emperor Napoleon were among history's most celebrated cameo enthusiasts. The word "cameo" derives from the Italian, rooted in the Hebrew or Arabic word Kamea, meaning charm or amulet. Folklore holds that cameos attract health, happiness, and good fortune — making this piece as meaningful as it is magnificent.
