Black and Semi Black Opal

Black Opal is solid opal distinguished by the black or very dark body colour of the stone and is highly sought after because of its beauty and rarity. Semi Black opal has a background which ranges from smoky grey to nearly black.

The dark background accentuates the play of colour in the opal and the brighter and sharper the colours, the more valuable the opal.

Most Black Opal comes from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales or Mintabie with small amount coming from the fields around Coober Pedy.

Semi-Black Opal

Semi-Black is similar but has a background colour which ranges from smoky grey to nearly black.
