0.55ct Lightning Ridge Crystal Opal | N7 Tone, B2 | Violet Broadflash | Australian Solid Opal
​Description:
Sourced from the historic opal fields of Lightning Ridge, Australia, this 0.55-carat solid Crystal Opal shows an N7 body tone with full transparency that gives the stone a clear, glass-like internal character. The stone displays a violet-dominant play-of-colour in a soft, floating broadflash pattern that activates gently across the crown.
​Hand-cut into a round organic freeform shape with a professional polish, this stone offers a balanced face footprint but a relatively shallow 2.28mm depth, making it best suited to a custom bespoke jewellery design. ​
​Please note: Because this stone is highly transparent, a prominent patch of natural tan sand and potch located on the reverse side is clearly visible through the internal crystal structure, acting as a permanent visual interruption to the face-up colour coverage. In strict accordance with Opal House Australia integrity standards, a combined 55% commercial deduction has been permanently integrated into this retail valuation to account for this highly visible facial interruption. By accurately identifying and deducting for these natural characteristics, we can offer this genuine Lightning Ridge Crystal Opal at a disciplined, integrity-backed retail price.
