10k Yellow Gold Teardrop Australian Black Boulder Opal Ring. Purple

For sale is a 10k yellow gold Australian black opal ring.  This teardrop shaped opal is a true black opal.  The opal has black matrix that is over-run by flowing purple and blue opalescence.  In sunlight or bright indoor light the opal flashes with deep purple, peacock blue, royal blue and midnight blue fire.  The opal is securely prong set.  The opal is flanked by very tiny diamonds that are set in white gold.  The white gold pieces resemble leaves on either side of the opal "blossom."  You might also view this ring as an iridescent insect, with an opal body and white gold wings. The ring has a split shank that joins in the back.  The blue-purple opal is visible from the back of the ring.  This opal is so unusual, with its rich purple-blue color and ethereal fire.  You will never see another like it.  

The item shows normal wear for a pre-owned piece (light scratches, dings, dents and scuff marks.)
