0.49 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

A sublime whisper of the earth, this Crystal Jelly Opal is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company as an object of cultivated desire, an emblem of refined taste and understated power. The stone carries a semi transparent presence that invites light to travel through it, revealing an arresting, multi color play that seems to breathe as the viewing angle shifts. At 0.49 carat, the gem is perfectly proportioned for a statement ring or an intimate pendant, commanding attention without ostentation. The cabochon cut enhances the opal's luminous depths, smoothing the surface into a soft, domed silhouette that showcases flashes of green, red, and pastel fire, while preserving a serene overall tone that will complement the wardrobe of someone who chooses distinction over display.

Measured with precision at 7.21 x 5.27 x 2.19 millimeters, this oval shaped Crystal Jelly Opal is an exceptional study in balance, its silhouettes refined and ready for custom design, while its medium intense color intensity offers richness without overwhelming the gem with saturation. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural origin and an assurance that the inclusions do not impede the visual harmony of the stone. With an excellent polish, the surface reflects light with a glass like sheen, allowing the internal play of color to appear as luminous patches and ribbons beneath the skin of the gem. There has been no enhancement, the opal is entirely natural, and the lack of treatment preserves the integrity and rarity of its beauty. As a Crystal Jelly Opal, it marries delicate transparency with an inner fire, a combination that is highly sought after among connoisseurs who understand that true luxury is the quiet possession of something singular and naturally exquisite.

Originating from Australia, the home of the world most esteemed opals, this gem carries with it a legacy of geological patience and artisanal respect. The Natural Gemstone Company sources stones with an insistence on provenance and ethical stewardship, and this opal is presented as a natural, untreated treasure that will age gracefully within your curated collection. Its semi transparent body and opalescent spectrum make it a versatile centerpiece for bespoke jewelry, pairing beautifully with warm yellow gold for an antique cinematic look, with cool white gold or platinum for a modern sculptural statement, or set in a minimalist bezel to celebrate the gem itself. Given its cabochon cut and moderate size, the stone is well suited for designs that protect the dome while allowing the play of color to command the viewer, an approach favored by jewelers who understand that the setting should elevate the gem rather than compete with it.

To wear this Crystal Jelly Opal is to assert membership in a world of subtle affluence, it signals an appreciation for natural art that cannot be replicated by fashion alone. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to make this opal your own, to commission a setting that honors its translucence and internal fire, or to add it to a private collection where it will be cherished as an heirloom of impeccable taste. We are available to advise on mounting options, metal choices, and design directions, and to provide additional imagery or certification details upon request. Possession of this Australian born, untreated, very slightly included, 0.49 carat oval opal is not merely an acquisition, it is an affirmation of discernment, a quiet triumph for someone who understands that true luxury is defined by authenticity, provenance, and the rare pleasure of owning something naturally magnificent.
