FAQs
What is a loose black opal?
A loose black opal refers to a gemstone that is not set in any jewelry. These include natural black opals, high-quality black opals, and even uncut black opals, offering versatility for customization and design.
What makes Australian black opals unique?
Australian black opals are renowned for their vivid play-of-color and dark body tone, making them the most valuable type of opal. Mined in areas like Lightning Ridge, these Australian black opals are often considered the pinnacle of black opal gems.
How do Ethiopian black opals differ from Australian black opals?
Ethiopian black opals are known for their unique patterns and vibrant colors. While Australian black opals have a more traditional dark body tone, Ethiopian black opals can feature translucent and fiery patterns.
What are semi-black opals and solid black opals?
Semi-black opals, also called gray or dark opals, have a medium-dark body tone, whereas solid black opals have a pure dark background that enhances their play-of-color. Both types are popular among collectors of black opal gems.
Are raw black opals and uncut black opals the same?
Yes, raw black opals and uncut black opals refer to opals in their natural, unpolished state. These loose black opals are ideal for those who want to shape or customize the stone themselves.
How do I care for my loose black opals?
To maintain the brilliance of your black opals, including solid black opals and semi-black opals, avoid exposing them to sudden temperature changes or harsh chemicals. Store them in a safe, moisture-controlled environment.
Why are black opals so valuable?
Black opals, especially high-quality black opals from Australia, are rare and known for their stunning play-of-color. Natural black opals and solid black opals with vivid color patterns are particularly prized among collectors and jewelers.
GemSelect Certified Store Reviews
GemSelect: Over 22 Years in the Gemstone Business! Thank you for trusting us with your purchase!
Overall Rating -> 10 
Loved the price and the quality and the certification options which is the main reason why I buy. The guarantee is also a great reason to use gem select.
Overall Rating -> 9 
I was looking for a small gift for a friend- the process is the same as every other time and was very simple, and she even got her gift early! On the downside, there's no way to easily keep track of multiple Shipping Addresses, so if I want to send a gift to Friend A and to Friend B, I have to overwrite everything and it's a fair bit clunky in that regard.
Overall Rating -> 10
It's mostly good, only some item's are easier to find through the search than the menu
Overall Rating -> 10
Great service and everything was easy to find or get to
Overall Rating -> 10
I have found GemSelect to have the best selections of quality stones at a reasonable price. I like the packaging and the report availability.
Overall Rating -> 10
I've made several purchases through GemSelect in the past, although not within the last six months. Their gems are always beautiful and I have never had an issue with their prices or their stones. Even when I'm not buying, I love scrolling through their website, which is very user friendly. I especially appreciate being able to change the listing order to your own liking, such as most to least expensive, largest to smallest, etc. As with most online orders, however, I think the shipping charges are not commensurate with the actual weight of the items shipped.
Overall Rating -> 10
Its been a long time since Ive made any purchases Im satisfied with the quality.
Overall Rating -> 10
I love the gems and your website, every time I want to buy I usually spend between 6 and 8 hours on your website.
