2.24 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Cabochon Opal Pair from Australia

Born in the ancient, silica rich soils of Australia, these two White Opals began as delicate layers of precious silica deposited over millennia, capturing light and color in microscopic spheres that give opal its living play of color. The story of each stone is visible in its translucency and gentle rainbow flashes, a quiet record of geological patience. As a matching pair they weigh 1.11 carats and 1.13 carats respectively, each fashioned into an oval shape to honor the stone form and to showcase their multi color character. The first measures 10.01 by 7.83 by 2.34 mm, the second 9.94 by 7.90 by 2.33 mm, and both are cabochon cut to maximize the surface sheen and the shifting hues within. These White Opals display medium color intensity, are graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and present an excellent polish that lets their subtle fire and pearly white body color sing without the need for enhancement.

From rough to radiant, the turning of these stones into a matched pair was an exercise in restraint and skill. Cutters selected the cabochon profile to preserve translucency and to reveal the internal mosaic of color flashes that make White Opal uniquely alive, while minimizing material loss to retain balanced proportions for paired settings. The very slightly included clarity speaks to natural character rather than flaw, and the lack of any enhancement confirms that these opals are offered in their original, honest state. Their oval, gently domed faces make them ideal for a refined pair of earrings or for a bespoke design that celebrates symmetry and organic light. Culturally, opal has been treasured across generations, and in Australia it holds a special place in local lore, often associated with rainbows and creative inspiration, a fitting heritage for gemstones that seem to hold a small sky within them.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we honor that origin and that story, presenting these Australian White Opals as a matched duo that brings geology, craftsmanship, and cultural resonance into wearable form. Whether you are designing a pair of heirloom earrings or seeking a quiet but luminous centerpiece, these translucent, multi color opals provide a gentle fire and a narrative of place and process. I am happy to discuss setting options, pairing suggestions, and any details you would like to explore to make these stones part of your collection.
