0.06 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This is a beautiful, semi transparent White Opal that captures attention with a lively, multicolor play of light. The tablet cut and excellent polish create a gently flattened dome that allows broad flashes of color to spread across the surface when viewed from different angles. Intense color intensity is evident across the stone, with flashes of electric green, sky blue, soft pink and warm orange that mingle on a pale body that reads as classic white opal in subdued lighting. At first glance this gem offers a serene, ethereal quality, and on closer inspection the internal color patches and rolling fire reveal the complexity and character that collectors and designers prize. The overall appearance is refined yet vibrant, a small wonder with presence that belies its delicate dimensions.

Technically this is a 0.06 carat oval shape opal, with neat proportions measuring 4.89 x 3.07 x 0.66 mm, cut in a tablet style to maximize color play while maintaining a thin profile for versatile mounting. The stone is semi transparent, which allows light to penetrate and interact with the internal color pattern to create vivid flashes and subtle background hues. The polish is excellent, giving a smooth reflective surface that intensifies the color effect and makes the stone easy to set without further finishing. There are no enhancements, the material is natural and untreated, and the origin is Australia, which is renowned for producing high quality opal material. The tablet cut is particularly well suited to inlay work, bezel settings and delicate designs where a low profile is preferred, and the oval outline ensures that the color fields can be oriented to favor a broad, scenic display within most mounting choices.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this White Opal as a fine example of small format opal that will perform beautifully as a center for petite rings, as an elegant accent in a pendant, or as a spectacular touch in custom earrings. Because of its semi transparent nature and intense color, it will catch light in everyday wear and provide an ever changing visual experience. Care is straightforward, do not expose the stone to sudden temperature extremes, harsh chemicals or prolonged strong heat, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners to preserve the internal structure and surface polish. Clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, dry with a soft cloth, and store separately from harder gemstones to prevent abrasion. If you are planning a bespoke piece, consider a bezel or flush setting to protect the thin tablet profile while showcasing the play of color, or choose a low profile prong work that supports the stone edge. We are happy to provide additional photos, viewing angles and mounting suggestions to ensure that this little Australian White Opal becomes a stunning element in your next jewelry project.
