Natural Ethiopian Black Opal Oval Beads – Smooth Dark Jewelry Supply Strand

Ethiopian Black Opal smooth oval beads — the darkest and rarest color variant in the Ethiopian opal family. Against a near-black body color, the play-of-color fire appears as vivid electric flashes: neon green, sharp blue, brilliant orange. The contrast is unlike anything in the white opal range.

This 8-inch bracelet-ready strand gives you exactly what you need for a single statement bracelet. The oval shape sits comfortably on the wrist and strings with a satisfying weight.

• Natural Ethiopian Black Opal — untreated
• Oval shape, straight drill
• Smooth polish finish

Black opal is the premium tier of the Ethiopian opal range. The dark body color dramatically intensifies the perceived brightness of the play-of-color fire — a phenomenon that jewelers specifically seek out for high-end statement pieces.
