Direct from Opal mines in Australia, Black Opal pairs are a rarity in today's market. Finding a matching pair is even more exceptional due to the unique nature of each Opal from Lightning Ridge. The variability in color and pattern makes it particularly challenging to find identical Black Opals for earrings, given the limited selection available.
Opal pairs are typically formed in two distinct ways. Firstly, there are "knobby" Opals, known for their darker body tones and higher cost. These Opals are sliced into two parts by the cutter, though achieving perfect symmetry is difficult due to variations in shape, size, and brightness between halves. It's common for one piece to have imperfections like potch or sand dots, further complicating exact matching.
The second option is seam Opal, which forms in layers within the rock. Miners can cut these larger, flat pieces into matching earrings, typically ranging from semi-black to dark tones or crystal sets. While Crystal or White Opals from Coober Pedy can also be paired for earrings, it's the distinct allure of Black Opals that captivates buyers.
Some Opal pairs are cut from the same rock, making them ideal for matching rings, pendants, or for a couple to each have a complementary piece, akin to a yin-yang relationship.
