0.68 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

If you are searching for a singular center stone for an engagement ring, a standout addition to a curated collection, or a memorable gift that will be treasured for a lifetime, this opal is designed to answer that search. From The Natural Gemstone Company we present a beautiful semi transparent Crystal or Jelly Opal weighing 0.68 carat, oval shape, with dimensions 8.23 x 6.21 x 2.20 mm, and a tablet cut that presents a broad, luminous surface. The gem originates from Australia, it is untreated with no enhancement, it carries a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, it shows intense color and it is finished with an excellent polish. This combination of natural origin, transparency, and vibrant play of color makes this opal an ideal solution when you want a stone that reads as elegant and ethereal, yet distinct and full of life.

Visually this opal offers a layered, multi color display that awakens as the stone moves, showing flashes of greens and blues that swim beneath delicate ribbons of pink and occasional warm red flashes, all set against a clear jelly like background. The semi transparent Crystal or Jelly character allows light to penetrate and reflect from within, producing depth and a soft inner glow that many collectors and designers prize, the tablet cut maximizes the surface area of play of color and produces a smooth, modern profile that sits beautifully in a variety of settings. If you are designing an engagement ring that favors a modern, minimalist aesthetic, consider a low bezel or a sleek four prong setting to protect the thin tablet edge while allowing the stone to breathe. If you are seeking a pendant or pair of classic studs, the same tablet cut offers a strong face up presence, and the generous polish makes the surface catch light with subtle scintillation. At 0.68 carat and with its refined dimensions, this stone will work well as a delicate center or as a complementary accent in bespoke pieces.

Quality and provenance matter when you are making an emotional purchase, and this opal delivers on both, the Australian origin speaks to a lineage of some of the world finest opals, the no enhancement status confirms you are acquiring a natural gem in its authentic state, and the very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, means the stone retains transparency and brilliance without distracting inclusions. For care and longevity handle the opal gently, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes, clean with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners, and consider protective settings such as a bezel for everyday wear to reduce risk of chipping at the tablet edge.
