1.18 Ct. Multi Color Crystal Opal (Jelly Opal) from Australia

One beautiful translucent 1.18 carat freeform shape multi color crystal opal is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, opal type, Crystal Opal, Jelly Opal, with measurements 13.26 by 8.30 by 1.67 mm, cut in a tablet style, polished, clarity grade eye clean as evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, origin Australia. The freeform silhouette and tablet cutting style create a broad, even surface that enhances the opal play of color, and the polished finish gives the gem a smooth, reflective face that reads both as delicate and vivid. Compared with common assembled stones and mass market doublets, this single piece crystal opal offers a naturally uniform translucency and an internal depth that synthetic alternatives and backed composites rarely match. The combination of eye clean clarity and intense color intensity means the flashing greens, blues, and subtle pinks are not interrupted by inclusions, which positions this gem above many market offerings for artisans seeking a clean canvas and for collectors seeking a naturally untreated specimen.

Under sunlight, the jelly opal displays a lively, layered play of color, with broad flashes of neon green and sea blue that seem to float beneath the surface, while softer lavender and pink tones emerge as the stone tilts. Under cool LED light, the tablet cut emphasizes crisp spectral flashes, producing a focused ribbon of color across the top plane, which is particularly flattering in modern settings and minimalist jewelry. In warm incandescent light, the opal leans into its pastel character, showing warmer pink and peach undertones that complement yellow gold settings. In low or ambient lighting, the gem reads as a softly luminous gem with shimmer that rewards movement, while backlighting brings forward internal brightness and a quasi three dimensional depth that many competitors cannot reproduce without treatment. Because this crystal opal is untreated and eye clean, the play of color is authentic and stable, offering better long term value than augmented stones. The Natural Gemstone Company presents this piece as a superior choice for designers and collectors who want a unique, natural, and versatile opal, combining rarity, aesthetic flexibility, and honest quality, making it an excellent investment for bespoke jewelry or a standout addition to any curated collection.
