0.65 Ct. White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a beautiful translucent White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, an elegant multi color specimen that balances subtle body tone with lively play of color. This gem weighs 0.65 carat, and is cut into a refined oval shape with a tablet cut that flatters the stone while preserving its opalescent character. The dimensions are 8.08 x 5.95 x 2.17 mm, a size that sits comfortably in a solitaire ring, pendant, or delicate pair of earrings. Clarity is graded eye clean when viewed at eye level, ensuring that the surface and internal structure present without prominent inclusions to distract from the color play. Color intensity is medium, which allows the white base to glow while flashes of green and other spectral tones appear across the surface. The polish is excellent, giving a satiny sheen that highlights the opalized silica structure. There has been no enhancement to this opal, and it is natural and untreated, with its origin in Australia, a provenance that is synonymous with quality opal material.

Visually this White Opal offers a gentle and captivating display that changes with every shift in angle and light. The tablet cut provides a broad, shallow table that distributes color across a generous face, so that the gem reads larger than its carat weight might suggest. At a glance you will notice soft flashes of green against a translucent white background, with secondary hints of blue and occasional warm tones as the light catches different internal layers. The translucency allows light to penetrate and interact with the microstructure, creating a luminous depth that is different from purely opaque specimens. This makes the opal particularly attractive for settings that allow light to enter from the sides and back, such as open back bezels or prong settings with minimal metal coverage. For a classic look pair this opal with warm yellow gold to enhance the warmth of lighter flashes, or choose white gold or platinum for a modern contrast that underscores the cool spectral colors. Because of the tablet cut and eye clean clarity, the gem will sit flat and comfortable in a variety of mounting styles, making it ideal for a bespoke jewelry commission or a refined ready to wear piece.

Care and appreciation of this White Opal are straightforward but important to ensure long term beauty. Opal is a hydrated form of silica and can be sensitive to rapid temperature change and harsh chemicals, so avoid exposing the stone to extreme heat, ultrasonic cleaners, or household solvents. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, and dry immediately after cleaning. When storing, keep the opal separate from harder gemstones to prevent abrasion, and consider a padded jewelry box or a separate compartment. Because this specimen is natural and has not been enhanced, it represents an authentic material quality with inherent uniqueness in color play and internal pattern. The Australian origin contributes to its desirability and collectible value, and having the gem come to you from The Natural Gemstone Company assures you of careful selection and ethical sourcing practices. We are committed to providing detailed information and high resolution imagery to help you choose with confidence.
