Weight: 1.71 ct

Shipment will be insured and trackable.
Duties and Taxes are the buyers' responsibilities.

Black opal is the rarest and most valuable of all opals and is generally found as a bar of various colors in a dark body. Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia is the worldwide home for black opal and is widely regarded as producing the best black opal in the world. It is here that ages ago, nature hid the earth’s rarest gem, the black opal. Opalholics - Now is the time to buy investment opal because the supply of high-grade black opal is thinning, and the mining community of Lightning Ridge as a whole is not finding many opals, which can only mean one thing for prices.

Pictures have been taken under natural daylight and white light with magnification and with different backgrounds, intended to display as accurately as possible. But it may slightly vary. Please check the measurements from the text above to get a real idea of the stone.

Très belle morganite. Translucide d'un beau Rose clair. Bien emballée et adressée par courrier recommandé dans un délai très rapide

Aan het paviloen is een fals facet geslepen om een beschadiging te verwijderen. Dit staat NIET op het certificaat en/of is aangegeven bij het aanbieden. Zodoende is de prijs ten onrechte te hoog.

Seller's response

Hello, first of all thanks for your purchase. As of now there is no Laboratory in the world who mentions any cut details on the certificate. This is rare padparadscha which is cut very precisely to maintain its weight and there is no need to mention this in the description as the photos are provided with all details. Anyway, if you are not satisfied with the stone still, no problem, you can contact Catawiki immediately and report them that you would like to return it back. Hope this will be satisfactory. Best Greeting.

arrivata la tormalina indicolite,bellissima! grazie
