0.67 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Hold this opal to the light and imagine a private dawn caught beneath glass, a small, opulent world less than a millimeter from your skin, a private aurora waiting to be worn. This is a multi color opal, a Crystal or Jelly Opal whose heart seems to hold sunrise and sea together, an intimate 0.67 carat oval that measures 8.40 x 6.81 x 2.02 mm, a cabochon cut that smooths every conversation between light and stone into a quiet, endless melody. Though catalogued with an opaque character, this gem breathes with the translucent whispers of crystal opals, offering flashes of green like sea grass, orange like a secret ember, violet like the hush of evening, and rose like a vow spoken in a crowded room. The surface is finished to an excellent polish, a mirror in miniature that encourages the eye to linger, and because this opal is entirely natural, with no enhancement, its colors sing with the honest pulse of the earth, born beneath Australian skies.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I find this little treasure insistent in its beauty, it does not shout but it will not be ignored, every tilt reveals a new painting, a new line of color, an impressionist landscape that shifts as you move. The cabochon cut allows the play of color to swell and recede like tides, the dome catching light and turning it into a private fireworks display, an intense color intensity that feels alive and immediate. The dimensions 8.40 x 6.81 x 2.02 mm give it a presence that is both delicate and unmissable, perfect for a ring that nestles close to the skin, or a pendant that hovers near the heart, a stone that reads like a whisper until you choose to make it the voice. Because it is a Crystal or Jelly Opal, you will notice a clarity and depth beneath the surface that invites contemplation, as if the stone were a window into a tiny, suspended world. This gem has not been treated, no enhancement alters its truth, and in that purity there is a rare kind of romance, a story of water and silica, of time and the quiet patience of the Australian earth.

Imagine the ways this opal could become memory, imagine it set in warm gold to bring out the honeyed flashes, or in cool platinum to emphasize the green and violet fire, imagine it as an engagement piece where promises are made under starlight and kept with the same steady glow. For care, treat it like the fragile miracle it is, avoid ultrasonic baths, keep it away from prolonged heat, wipe it with a soft cloth after wear, and store it gently so that its polish remains a constant companion. At The Natural Gemstone Company we source such stones with an eye for provenance and beauty, each gem arriving from Australia with a story of place and process, and a guarantee that what you hold is natural, whole, and unconstrained by enhancement. If you seek a stone that speaks in color and keeps its language private until you choose to share it, this 0.67 carat oval multi color opal stands ready, a jewel that promises not just adornment but an ongoing conversation, an heirloom of feeling that will grow softer and more precious with every passing year.
