Dark Opal, classified as Natural Opal Type 1, is found in Australian opal fields such as Lightning Ridge, Mintabie, and occasionally Coober Pedy. This gemstone features a dark grey to deep grey body tone (N5 to N6 on the Opal Body Tone Scale), which enhances the intensity of its vivid internal colours. Its rich base tone is caused by the presence of iron oxides, creating a striking contrast that highlights its impressive play-of-colour.
