0.69 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

One beautiful translucent 0.69 carat oval shape multi color opal is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, a White Opal that measures 8.06 x 5.72 x 2.43 mm, with a classic cabochon cut that maximizes play of color and surface appeal. This opal is medium intense in color intensity, showing a soft yet lively spectrum of blues, greens and warm flashes of red across its body, which gives it an elegant, wearable personality. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, so the field remains clean to casual inspection while preserving the natural character that collectors and designers admire. The polish is excellent, giving the dome a high sheen that catches light and displays the internal color flashes from multiple angles. There is no enhancement, and the gem is a genuine Australian origin White Opal, which means you are getting a natural stone with authentic provenance, rather than treated or artificially altered material.

Compared to other opal types on the market, this White Opal occupies a comfortable middle ground that balances charm and everyday practicality. Black opals are renowned for dramatic fire, but they are rare and command steep premiums, and they can sometimes overpower more delicate settings. Crystal opals can offer exceptional transparency and intensity, however they tend to be more fragile and demand careful handling. This Australian White Opal brings a softer, more versatile aesthetic, with medium intense color that is visible in normal daylight and under softer lighting. The cabochon cut enhances durability compared with faceted or thin slices, and the very slightly included clarity grade keeps the price accessible while still offering a clean look for pendants, rings and bespoke pieces. For designers seeking a natural, multi color opal that performs well in most jewelry styles, this stone is superior in value when you compare its visual appeal and physical resilience to treated or lower grade commercial opals.

Value wise, this opal stands out when considering its natural origin, lack of enhancement, and overall presentation. Many stones offered at similar price points have been dyed, doublets or triplets, or have undergone resin impregnation to hide fractures and boost appearance. Those treatments reduce longevity and can lead to problems in settings that are exposed to heat, chemicals or wear. This White Opal is untreated, and the cabochon shape preserves the integrity of the stone while offering excellent polish and a pleasing dome that intensifies play of color without relying on enhancements. The 0.69 carat weight and the dimensions of 8.06 x 5.72 x 2.43 mm make it ideal for elegant rings with modest settings, classic pendant designs, and custom jewelry where the opal is meant to be the focal point without overshadowing the metalwork. In comparison to larger, heavily included stones or artificially enhanced pieces, this opal represents a sensible investment in natural beauty that will age gracefully.

When you buy from The Natural Gemstone Company you are supported by gemological experience and transparent information, including full disclosure that the opal is a White Opal from Australia, has a cabochon cut, very slightly included clarity at eye level, medium intense color intensity, excellent polish, and no enhancement. We recommend setting this opal in a protective bezel or a low profile prong setting to maximize durability, avoiding harsh ultrasonic cleaning and exposure to prolonged heat, and cleaning it gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush.
