Buy Lightning Ridge Rough Opal
Lightning Ridge in New South Wales is renowned for black opal, although rough from the field can display a range of dark, light and crystal body tones. Natural seams and nobbies make every piece different, which is part of the appeal for cutters and collectors.
Assess the Colour and Cutting Potential
Look closely at the visible colour, its brightness and how it travels through the rough. The relationship between colour and potch can influence the shape, orientation and size of a possible finished stone, so photographs from multiple sides are valuable.
Understand What the Listing Shows
Compare the weight and dimensions and note whether the material is shown wet or dry. Review any videos for changes in colour across different angles, then choose a piece that suits your experience, equipment and intended project.
