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

This matched pair of White Opal cabochons from Australia presents precise lapidary work and consistent material quality, ideal for a discerning collector or bespoke jeweler, the stones weigh 1.61 carats and 1.77 carats respectively, with dimensions of 11.01 by 8.98 by 2.63 millimeters and 11.04 by 9.02 by 2.94 millimeters, the ovals are well proportioned with a classical cabochon dome that emphasizes internal play of color while maintaining a stable girdle thickness and even pavilion profile, the cut exhibits symmetry in outline and mirror like polish on the dome and base which contributes to an excellent polish grade, clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, these inclusions are minor and typically confined to internal siliceous texture rather than discrete fractures so they do not materially affect durability, the stones are translucent with medium light body color intensity which provides a balanced backdrop for the multi color flashes, no enhancement has been applied and the natural state supports longevity with standard care.

Optically the pair displays a multi color play of color dominated by red and green flashes with secondary blue and orange components, the pattern reads as a combination of broad flash areas with pinfire dispersion in localized zones which creates dynamic movement when oriented to light, the medium light intensity allows the spectral colors to sit distinctly against the white opal body color without appearing washed out, because these are solid White Opal material and not doublets or triplets there is uniform light transmission across the thickness which is reflected in consistent color saturation between the two stones, origin from Australia is significant as it aligns with geological formation that produces tight silica spheres responsible for vibrant play of color, recommended mounting approaches include low bezel or protective prong settings to minimize exposure to knocks while allowing the dome to present its color, the pair is especially suitable for matched earrings where their near equal dimensions and complementary color distribution will read harmoniously, The Natural Gemstone Company certifies these technical attributes and can provide additional photographic orientations under daylight and incandescent sources upon request, this information is intended to support informed selection by skilled buyers and jewelry designers.
