Lightning Ridge Dark Opal 7.10ct - Australian Opal - WOLR0001

A striking drop-shaped opal from Lightning Ridge, New South Wales, with a medium dome and commanding presence. This 7.1-carat stone measures 22.46mm high by 11.65mm wide, making it substantial enough for a statement pendant or refined drop setting. The defining feature is its rolling ribbon pattern—bands of green, aqua, and violet that flow dynamically across the face, creating genuine movement as light catches the stone. The colour play is bold without being chaotic, giving the opal a sophisticated visual rhythm. The cut is medium quality, but the drop shape and dome work together to maximise the pattern's impact. This is an opal built for bespoke jewellery: silversmiths will find the proportions and dome ideal for custom designs, while collectors will appreciate its distinctive character and strong colour range. Before purchase, we recommend reviewing the detailed measurements, dome profile, and cut specifications to ensure the stone suits your intended setting or collection.
