Australia is known for the most beautiful opals in the world. The stones from Lightning Ridge in particular enjoy an almost legendary reputation, and among them rare black opals are the most sought-after stones. This vintage brooch shows a magnificent black opal in a setting of high-carat white gold. The full opal, not a doublet or even a triplet, is cut into an irregularly rounded cabochon and weighs around 35.00 ct. Over a grey-blue base colour, it shows strong green, yellow-green and blue areas that glow like lightning when exposed to light. Depending on the incidence of light, the stone is "calm" at first, only to then suddenly sparkle with a firework display of colour. The brooch was created around 1970 and sets twelve small white diamonds alongside the opal. It frames the opal in an almost organic way, which goes well with the irregular shape of the opal cabochon. It is not overly large, but the rich, intense colour play of the opal means that it is not overlooked. The piece of jewellery is in very good condition and can be worn immediately with many different outfits.
