0.71 Ct. Multi Color Cabochon Crystal Opal (Jelly Opal) from Australia

A luminous whisper from the heart of Australia, this Crystal Opal, Jelly Opal, presents itself as a rare and intimate jewel for the discerning collector. One beautiful translucent 0.71 carat round shape multi color crystal opal, jelly opal, with dimensions of 8.02 x 7.99 x 1.87 mm, has been shaped into a classic cabochon that celebrates the stone rather than masking it, the rounded dome revealing a shifting cosmos of color that moves with the light. The cabochon cut enhances the play of color and gives a soft, liquid surface that invites close inspection, the intense color intensity and excellent polish allowing electric flashes of green, ocean blue, and warm fire tones to appear and recede like a private aurora. There is no enhancement to alter the gem, the natural clarity and translucence of this crystal opal remain untouched, and that purity is central to its appeal. This is not a mass produced item, it is a singular natural phenomenon, a small and perfect globe of gem quality that will sit quietly at the center of a collection and transform with every change of angle and light.
