How much would the opal in Uncut Gems be worth?

The opal in “Uncut Gems” is a fictional and rare gemstone, therefore it’s difficult to determine its exact value.

Sandler’s character estimated that the piece weighed between 4,000 to 5,000 carats and had an estimated value of $3,000 per carat.

However, it’s clear that the opal is meant to be a valuable and sought-after gemstone, as Howard believes it to be the key to his wealth and success.

Howard makes a high-stakes bet on the opal and even borrows money from his associates to purchase it. He also uses it as collateral for a loan from a loan shark.

In reality, black opals are considered the rarest and most valuable type. They can fetch very high prices, with some specimens selling millions of dollars. The value of opal can depend on many factors such as its size, colour, and pattern.

“Uncut Gems” is a 2019 American crime thriller film directed by the Safdie brothers and written by Ronald Bronstein and the Safdies.
