Check out this massive piece of rough black opal potch straight from Lightning Ridge!
It's a hefty chunk weighing in at about 1000 carats (that's 200 grams of solid gemstone rough).
This one is a potch, meaning it's the non-colorful base variety of opal, but it's still a stunning specimen in its own right.

The shape is natural rough, just as it came out of the ground.
It's brand new in the sense that it's not tumbled or treated—just raw, natural beauty.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate the geology of opals, or for artists who might use it in unique jewelry designs or displays.

It's a true piece of the famous Lightning Ridge fields.

No color here, but the size and weight make it an impressive addition to any rock hound's collection.

Imagine having this on your desk or in your display case—it's a real conversation starter.
Plus, it's a great way to own a substantial piece of Australian opal without the high price tag of precious opal.
So if you're into unique minerals or just love the idea of holding a big chunk of earth's history, this rough black opal potch is for you.
Grab it while you can—they don't make 'em like this every day!
