This opal features a tablet cut, a choice that offers a broader surface to showcase its play of colors and inherent vibrancy. The tablet cut is a lesser-known, yet sophisticated, style that maximizes sultry visual effects when light strikes the stone. Our expert lapidaries have precisely faceted this opal, allowing observers to enjoy the full spectrum of multi-color hues inherent within. This particular cutting style amplifies the flashes of color typical of high-quality opals, bringing the stone to life with remarkable intensity.
The semi-black opal's color intensity is rated as intense, providing it with a vivid brilliance. This degree of intensity indicates a higher body tone, often sought-after for its ability to spotlight the stone's inherent play-of-color. Each angle unveils a new perspective, with blues, greens, and flashes of other captivating hues emerging with each twinkle of light. Such deep color vibrancy complements a multicolored display with rich undertones and contributes significantly to the stone’s allure and collectability.
In terms of clarity, this opal ranks as very slightly included when assessed at eye level. This subtle inclusion level points to an impressive clarity that does not hinder its overall aesthetic or vibrancy but rather highlights its identity as a natural gem. Skilled craftsmanship ensures the surface is polished to an excellent finish, further highlighting the opal's captivating hues. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we ensure each opal is meticulously polished, allowing this gem to achieve an unrivaled gloss that enhances both its appeal and its presence in any setting.
The gemstone's performance within jewelry cannot be overstated, as its multi-colored brilliance assures it will stand out elegantly whether set in rings, pendants, or earrings. The opal's slim thickness at 1.87 mm offers versatility in various designs while retaining prominence through its broad face. This design consideration ensures that it captivates in both solitary settings and as part of more complex compositions. Customers at The Natural Gemstone Company appreciate the amalgamation of craftsmanship and natural beauty that this opal epitomizes, making it not just a centerpiece, but also a story treasured forever in time.
