0.55 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Beneath the wide Australian sky, where ancient layers of earth hold stories older than language, this White Opal began its journey as microscopic spheres of silica settling in hidden pockets of rock, forming a dreamlike play of color over millennia. Miners working the Australian fields gently freed this translucent multi color opal from its stone matrix, revealing flashes of green and blue that shift with the light, a quiet testament to time and nature. Carried from remote dig sites to careful hands, this gem traveled through a chain of craftsmen who respected its origin and preserved its natural beauty, shaping it into a tablet cut that flatters the stone while keeping its luminous inner life intact. The Natural Gemstone Company honors that lineage, presenting this opal not as an isolated object, but as a piece of living earth that connects the wearer to ancient landscapes and the patient artistry of the planet.

In workshops guided by tradition and precision, the rough was transformed into a 0.55 carat oval with dimensions of 9.16 x 6.93 x 1.42 mm, the tablet cut chosen to maximize the multi color play and to enhance the stone while maintaining its natural translucency. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a minor characteristic that only deepens the gem story and confirms its natural, untreated origin, enhancement no enhancement. Color intensity reads as medium intense, providing a balanced field of color that glows under different lights, and the polish is excellent, lending a satiny surface that invites touch and admiration. This White Opal will sit beautifully in a subtle bezel or a light catching prong setting, ideal for someone who desires a jewel that carries a narrative from the ground to the hand. At The Natural Gemstone Company we select and present each gem with provenance and care, so this opal arrives ready to continue its journey as a cherished, wearable piece of natural history.
