Hand-Carved Australian Opal Lady Cameo on Black Onyx Gemstone

This exquisite loose gemstone features a delicate, hand-carved Australian Opal cameo set against a polished Black Onyx tablet. The carving depicts the profile of a young maiden with cascading hair and floral adornments, showcasing a remarkable level of detail and translucency. Gemstone Details Australian Opal: The carving is executed in genuine Australian opal, displaying a soft, milky body color with vibrant flashes of "play-of-color", including spectral hues of pink, blue, and green, as the light moves across the sculptural surface. Onyx Base: The jet-black onyx backing acts as a dramatic "dark room," intensifying the opal's natural fire and making the intricate carving stand out in high relief. Artistry & Style The piece blends the classical tradition of the Victorian Revival with a Neo-Classical aesthetic. Unlike traditional shell cameos, the use of opal adds a layer of modern luxury and mystical appeal, making it an ideal centerpiece for a custom-designed pendant or a statement cocktail ring. This Australian Opal Cameo is a rare and ethereal example of lapidary art, perfect for a high-end collector
