Australian Black Potch Opal Cameo Carving 573cts — On Stand

A truly extraordinary piece of Australian opal artistry — this large black potch opal cameo carving weighs an impressive 573cts and showcases the skill of a master lapidary. The deep, lustrous black potch provides a dramatic backdrop for the finely detailed carving, presented on a wooden stand in its original box and ready to display.

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 beautiful.
