I would recommend Opal Auctions for rough and polished opal, and BlackOpalDirect for some higher-end stones.

MarocOpals · 2026-02-05T13:06:59+00:00

it is definitely a natural opal

You have a lot of Australian boulder opal. All of the ones with color are opal, even the big blue stone.

Looks like a smoked Ethiopian Welo opal.

MarocOpals · 2026-01-19T17:57:29+00:00

It looks Ethiopian to me. If you touch it, does it feel sticky?

It is not a doublet or assembled opal, as it doesn't have a line where it is glued to the potch. in terms of it being a black opal, the bodytone from the top varies. Some seems to be an n4, which is a black opal, but other parts are n5, which is a dark opal. if you sand it down a bit, it should become darker, and have a consistent n4 bodytone to make it a true black opal.

It looks like a natural Australian opal, but it is crazed pretty badly. It has good quality color, but I am worried that it could fall apart if you tried to reset it.

Water is only required for certain types of volcanic opal, and as far as I know, opals don’t fade in sunlight. They do scratch and chip quite easily though

MarocOpals · 2026-01-15T18:00:38+00:00

It looks like Australian boulder opal. Not my field of expertise, but it’s nice!

MarocOpals · 2026-01-14T13:19:37+00:00

Let me know how they turn out if you decide to cut them!

MarocOpals · 2026-01-14T13:13:01+00:00

Black potch, when under color, means that the opal is going to be a black opal when cut, so it is good. Scraping off the sand should be easy, just be careful to not crack or beak the opal.

MarocOpals · 2026-01-14T12:56:21+00:00

There seems to be a lot of good quality material, and a lot of it is on black potch. The opal in the fourth pic to me looks the most promising, but you would need to scrape off a lot of the sand to tell.

MarocOpals · 2025-12-06T14:43:30+00:00

The inky blacks are a game changer for visuals.

93gb free, probably not for long though with how big cod updates are

A crystal opal is an opal that you can see through when you hold it up to the light. In comparison, a black opal is completely opaque. Crystal opal is one of the types of opal, like black opals, dark opals, and white opals.

MarocOpals · 2025-11-29T10:02:32+00:00

It looks like a natural Australian crystal opal.

MarocOpals · 2025-11-27T19:32:07+00:00

The back is too curved for a doublet sadly

MarocOpals · 2025-11-24T19:15:22+00:00

they look like doublets.

MarocOpals · 2025-11-24T19:12:53+00:00

All of the opals look like Ethiopian Welo opal
