This exceptional oval-shaped N4 body-toned Mintabie black opal comes from the historic “Old Field” workings of Mintabie, South Australia. With Mintabie now closed to mining, genuine opals from these historic fields have become increasingly sought after by collectors.

The opal displays a spectacular broad-flash pattern, revealing vivid flashes of bright green, orange, yellow and light blue. The colours shift and transform with every change of angle, creating a dynamic display that is characteristic of fine natural opal.

Its classic oval shape and strong colour play make this a beautiful choice for a custom-made ring. Beyond its jewellery potential, its Mintabie provenance and connection to a now-closed opal field add significant appeal for Australian opal collectors.

A distinctive and highly collectable piece of Australian opal history, this Mintabie black opal offers both exceptional colour and a fascinating provenance.

  • Opal size: 9 x 7 mm
