About Dark Opal

Dark Opal is a beautiful opal variety found in all the Australian Opal Fields. Its body tone or base colour is dark to light grey. This makes a beautiful base for colour play and like all opals, red is the most sought-after. Dark opal can offer all the benefits of how black opal makes the colour pop, with usually a lower price point. Dark Opal has all the same colours and patterns as black opal and crystal opal.
