Black Opal

Amazing Chatham Created Black Opal Gemstones for SALE - Lab Created Loose Black Opal Gems in Standard Sizes
Black Opal is an umbrella term for all Opal gems that have a dark body, which can range from dark blues to grey. Chatham Created Black Opals are produced in highly specialized laboratory conditions to grow stones that are chemically identical to naturally formed Opals within a controlled environment. It's a mistake to consider Chatham Created gemstones as fake or imitation gemstones, because they are the same in composition as natural Opals, they were just synthetically formed instead of naturally occurring. That being said, there will definitely be more consistency in color, play of color and fire in lab created Opals as each stone developed in the same exact environment. Of course, in addition to a more consistent look from gem to gem, Lab Created gemstones are a mere fraction of the cost of natural gemstones.
