1.02 Ct. Multi Color Cabochon Fire Opal (Flame Opal) from Brazil

One of the most enduring treasures from the earth, this Fire Opal, also called flame opal, carries a sense of history that dates back to ancient jewelry traditions, where opals were prized for their shifting light and mysterious color. Offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this specimen is a translucent 1.02 carat oval shape opal, with dimensions of 8.99 by 6.97 by 3.29 mm, cut in a classic cabochon style, which highlights the stone’s internal play of color and smooth domed surface. Graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, and displaying medium color intensity with an excellent polish, this gem is entirely natural with no enhancement, and it originates from Brazil, a source known for opals that combine clarity with lively spectral flashes.

The gem’s multi color fire is immediately evident, a gentle dance of rose flashes, green fire, and pearlescent blues that shift as the stone moves, and this vibrancy will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether set as a solitary ring center, a pendant that catches the light, or a delicate pair of earrings that frame the face. The cabochon cut gives this oval a soft, timeless silhouette, allowing the color to flow across the curve and present strong flashes even under softer light, which makes it ideal for classic and heirloom designs that speak to tradition and legacy. Because it is eye clean and free from enhancements, the gem’s intrinsic beauty is authentic and stable, inviting jewelers and collectors to set it in fine metals that will complement its warm internal glow.

As a salesperson with deep experience in gemstones, I can say this Fire Opal embodies the qualities that collectors seek when looking for a meaningful, wearable piece of history, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to offer it with full disclosure of its natural origin and characteristics. If you are considering a bespoke setting that will celebrate its vivid color, I can suggest mounting styles that protect the cabochon while maximizing exposure to light, ensuring the opal’s fire remains the focal point for generations to come.
