0.61 Ct. Cabochon Crystal Opal from Australia

Introducing a remarkable gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, the 0.61 carat oval-shaped multi color opal. This exquisite opal displays a mesmerizing play of colors, drawing attention with its vibrant intermingling hues. Measuring 8.45 x 5.52 x 2.24 mm, this opal is perfectly shaped to enhance the natural beauty and colors inherent in quality opal gemstones. Opal is cherished for its unique optical characteristic known as "play-of-color", where brilliant flashes of divergent color dance across the surface under varying lighting conditions. Our opal showcases the remarkable ability to transform and captivate no matter where it is held or displayed.

Weight is an important factor in determining the value and rarity of gemstones. At 0.61 carats, this opal stands out, striking a delicate balance between carat weight and size. Such a size allows for ample play-of-color while maintaining the opal’s ability to be adapted into various jewelry designs, whether as a stunning centerpiece or a captivating accent. Larger opals with vibrant color displays and sharp polish, such as this one, are considered more valuable. The rarity of procuring such a fine specimen only further adds to its allure for both connoisseurs and collectors alike.

The clarity of a gemstone influences both its beauty and rarity. With a clarity grade of “very slightly included” evaluated at eye level, this opal coalesces almost flawlessly, with inclusions that are negligible to the naked eye. This clarity grade ensures the opal exhibits minimal interruptions in its dazzling display of color, maintaining its striking luminosity. Rare are those opals that offer such clarity combined with the dynamic display of color as seen in this particular gemstone, making it an exceptional addition to any collection.

The craftsmanship evident in the cutting of this opal boosts its inherent value. Notably, the cabochon cut enhances the visibility of the opal’s colors and promotes reflective playfulness through rounded, polished surfaces. The combination of an excellent polish and cabochon cut not only amplifies the vibrant hues but also ensures the stone captures light uniquely, maximizing its natural radiance. This opal has undergone meticulous selection and cutting processes to meet the standards of quality and excellence held by The Natural Gemstone Company.

Origin is another vital factor as Australian opals are among the most sought-after gemstones globally, revered for their intense color display. Australian opals are particularly renowned for depositing vibrant flashes of hue, which are on full display in this opal from The Natural Gemstone Company. The origin of this opal adds prestige, aligning with our commitment to offering only gems of the highest order. Whether you are an experienced gem collector or seeking a vibrant piece to add to your jewelry collection, this 0.61 carat opal promises a rarity and quality that is unmatched and unmistakable.
