Solid Australian Black Opal – Electric Blue & Turquoise Freeform

A truly distinctive solid Australian black opal featuring a dramatic sculptural freeform shape and an extraordinary display of electric blue, cobalt, turquoise, and teal play-of-color. The deep midnight-to-black body tone provides a rich foundation for the intense color, creating exceptional contrast and visual depth across the broad polished surface.

The most captivating feature is the concentration of bright turquoise and blue-green color through the lower central portion, appearing almost illuminated against the darker body of the opal. Moving outward, saturated royal and electric blues sweep across the wide upper sections, creating a layered pattern that changes in intensity as the stone is viewed from different angles.

Natural variations and divisions within the opal contribute to a striking landscape-like appearance. Rather than a conventional symmetrical cut, the stone has been polished into an unusual winged or fan-shaped freeform, allowing the natural formation and color placement to determine the finished silhouette. The result is a gemstone with significant artistic presence and unmistakable individuality.
