Lightning Ridge is the undisputed capital of black opal, producing the most valuable opals in the world with their characteristic dark body tone and vivid play of color. The opal-bearing formations lie in ancient Cretaceous seabeds, where silica solutions filled cavities and fossils over millions of years. Stones from Lightning Ridge display an extraordinary range of patterns, from harlequin to rolling flash, and the rarest specimens command prices exceeding those of diamonds.
Histórico
El ópalo fue descubierto en Lightning Ridge en la década de 1880, y el campo se convirtió en la principal fuente mundial de ópalo negro a principios del siglo XX. La colorida historia de la ciudad, con mineros del interior, casas subterráneas y leyendas de la fiebre del ópalo, la ha convertido en un destino icónico en el folclore gemológico.
