A rare matched pair of Lightning Ridge Black Opals, cut from the same pocket and offered together.
The pair consists of a 6.05ct N3 Black Opal with B4 Very Bright colour and its 4.55ct N3 sister stone with B3 Brightness. Both carry strong multicolour play, with red, orange, gold, green, teal, blue, purple and magenta appearing across the stones.
The larger 6.05ct stone shows dense, layered and striking Jigsaw, Flagstone and Chaff patterning with strong three dimensional depth and faces strongly from all angles. Its 4.55ct sister carries complementary colour and pattern, creating a natural visual connection between the two stones.
Together, they present a rare opportunity to acquire two sister stones from the same Lightning Ridge pocket, whether kept as a collector pair or developed into a matched jewellery concept.
Authentic. Rare. Unforgettable.
