0.49 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present a truly elegant Crystal Jelly Opal that captures a soft and luminous personality in a small yet impactful package. This semi transparent oval cabochon displays a delicate, multi color play of light that becomes more alive as it moves under different lighting conditions. The gem shows flashes of vibrant green, warm orange and pink red tones that float across a pale, watery background, giving it that signature jelly appearance that collectors and designers prize. Because the surface is flawlessly domed and the polish is excellent, the colors appear to swim beneath the surface, creating a serene and magical effect that reads beautifully in both classic and contemporary designs.

Technically this is a 0.49 carat oval shape Crystal Jelly Opal, with precise dimensions of 7.21 x 5.27 x 2.19 mm, cut as a cabochon to maximize the internal play of color. The clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem’s aesthetic appeal or optical performance. The color intensity is medium intense, which provides a balanced, wearable brightness that translates well into rings, pendants and bespoke pieces. There has been no enhancement to this opal, so you are seeing its natural beauty exactly as it formed, and its origin is Australia, a region renowned for producing high quality opal material. The semi transparent nature of this Crystal Jelly Opal allows light to penetrate and refract within the structure, enhancing the depth and movement of the color patches and offering a more three dimensional look than more opaque varieties.

From a design perspective this opal is versatile, elegant and surprisingly wearable. Its 0.49 carat weight and comfortable oval dimensions allow it to be set as a center stone in a delicate ring, as the focal point of a minimalist pendant, or as an eye catching accent in custom jewelry where its ethereal colors can be showcased against polished metal or accent stones. Because the opal is cabochon cut and semi transparent, settings that protect the girdle and peg the stone securely will help maintain the gem’s integrity, and bezel or low profile prong settings are often excellent choices. Opal care is straightforward, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, and if a cleaning is needed mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth will maintain its luster. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can provide guidance on custom settings, matching accent stones, and recommendations for mounting that both protect and enhance this opal’s natural charm.
