0.70 Ct. White Opal from Australia

One beautiful translucent 0.70 carat pear shape multi color opal is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, White Opal, a gem that combines delicate body tone and lively play of color. This gem measures 9.04 by 6.20 by 2.03 millimeters, and carries a tablet cut that accentuates its surface flash while preserving the stone structure for secure mounting. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem is remarkably clean to the unaided eye while retaining character that is typical of natural opals. Color intensity has been assessed as medium, providing a pleasing balance between a soft white body and the multi color flashes that emerge when the stone is moved under different lights, and the polish has been graded excellent, so the surface is smooth and reflective, allowing the internal fire to be seen with clarity. There has been no enhancement applied to this gem, and its origin is Australia, which is celebrated for producing world class opal material. This combination of attributes makes the piece a versatile choice for collectors and designers who value natural origin, careful cutting, and honest grading.

Visually the pear shape offers a graceful silhouette that flatters the hand and the neckline, and the tablet cut helps to display the internal play of color across a broad surface area. The gem is translucent, so light passes through the stone and interacts with microscopic silica spheres to create flashes of green, blue, and occasional warm tones depending on viewing angle and light source. The phrase multi color opal describes this lively spectacle, and in this particular specimen the dominant flashes tend toward cool greens and seafoam blues, set against a pale opalescent background that reads as soft white when seen from one angle, and as a misted palette of color from another. Because the clarity is very slightly included at eye level, these inclusions do not detract from the overall visual effect, and in many cases they add a subtle depth and character that is prized by connoisseurs of natural gems. The excellent polish enhances wearability, so the gem will sit comfortably in a bezel or prong setting while reflecting light off its lustrous surface.

For design and wear considerations this 0.70 carat White Opal in a pear shape is highly adaptable. It makes an elegant pendant, accent stone in a halo ring, or a focal point in a bespoke pair of drop earrings, and its compact dimensions of 9.04 by 6.20 by 2.03 millimeters fit a wide range of settings without overwhelming delicate designs. The tablet cut lends itself well to low profile mountings, which protect the stone from knocks while still showing off its color play, and because there is no enhancement the gem should be handled with the customary care appropriate to opal, avoiding sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals. Opals are hydrous minerals and while this White Opal is stable in typical daily wear, it is wise to remove opal jewelry for heavy manual work, when cleaning with harsh solutions, and when using abrasive materials. Gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, followed by soft drying, will preserve the surface polish and the internal vibrancy. If set in a ring, a protective bezel or partial bezel is an excellent choice to reduce exposure to impact, and if set in earrings or a pendant the stone can be enjoyed daily with minimal special maintenance.
