The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exquisite translucent 0.69 carat oval-shaped multi-color opal, originating from the renowned gemstone fields of Australia. This opal gem, with dimensions of 8.06 by 5.72 by 2.43 mm, is a testament to the natural artistry of our planet, showcasing a stunning array of colors in the medium intense color category. Unlike ordinary gemstones, the cabochon cut enhances the opal's innate play of color, weaving a tapestry of light that engages and mesmerizes the observer. An excellent polish reveals the radiant depth of this gemstone, ensuring it stands out in any collection.
The opal’s clarity is quite remarkable, with a very slightly included grade, when viewed at eye level, emphasizing its natural purity and allure, augmented by its superb finish. Opals from Australia are celebrated worldwide for their vibrant displays of color, often considered the best of their kind. This opal embodies the characteristics that have made Australian opals famous, with hues that shift and dance with a subtle elegance, distinguishing it from the more modest tones found in opals from other global locations like Brazil or Ethiopia.
Australian opals are particularly valued for their broad spectrum of colors, from the deep blues reminiscent of the ocean, to fiery reds paralleling the heart of a flame. As you rotate the opal, vibrant greens, bold oranges, and gentle purples emerge, a defining trait that sets Australian opals apart. Ethiopian opals, in contrast, often exhibit more darker undertones with a golden or honey hue while Brazilian opals may tend towards a milky background which can soften their color display, lacking the unique intensity seen in specimens like this one.
