Black Opal is an exceptionally rare and finite Gemstone, the world’s finest Black Opals are found at Lightning Ridge. Contrary to popular misconception even the vast majority of Opals found at Lightning Ridge are actually white or grey in body tone and cannot be classified as Black Opal. Small quantities of Black Opals have also been found in SA at Coober Pedy and Mintabie which have produced large quantities of semi black opals much like the opals at Grawin and Glengary in NSW.
