Scientific Notes:

Black opal is the rarest and most valuable opal variety, defined by its dark body tone which enhances the intensity of its play-of-color. Primarily found in Lightning Ridge, Australia, it forms in iron-rich claystone deposits. With a Mohs hardness of 5.5–6.5, black opals require gentle handling but remain durable enough for wearable settings when well cut and polished.

Metaphysical Properties:

Black opal is considered a stone of deep emotional healing, spiritual protection, and truth-seeking. It’s said to draw out what’s hidden—both in the heart and the mind—bringing clarity, intuition, and transformation. A perfect talisman for those in transition or seeking their truest path.
