Opal Grading

 

 A black opal is a natural solid gemstone with a black or nearly black body tone.

higher price associated with this class of opal.






The brightness of color is based on the following scale.

 

1

Opal has color but is fairly dull

2

Opal has color but nothing special

3

Opal has good color at arms length

4

Opal is bright and color is crisp and sharp at arms length

5

Opal is brilliant and color jumps out of the stone at you at arms length
