Black Opal: Black Opal is found mainly at Lightning Ridge N.S.W. 600km northwest of Sydney.
First noticed in the late 1800’s, it wasn’t until 1905 that the first shafts were dug and a layer of black “potch”
(non-precious opal) was discovered. Within this layer of potch is found precious opal called Black Opal a name
they have because of their dark body colour that ranges from light grey to dark black. Their rarity makes them
the most valuable of all opals.
Body Tone: Opal body tone is classified using the chart below.
This chart provided by the Opal Association here in Australia shows the different classifications of body tone
in Australian opals when viewed face-up ranging from the darkest 'N1' to the lightest 'N9'.
