0.73 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This exquisite heart shaped White Opal weighs 0.73 carat and measures 9.50 x 8.29 x 1.64 mm, a delightful size that balances presence and wearability, and the tablet cut gives the stone a gentle, modern flat profile that flatters many settings, from bezel and halo mounts to minimalist solitaire designs. The gem is translucent, allowing internal color play to glow through the stone, and the multi color flashes are vivid and captivating, showing greens, reds, and flashes of purple that move as the stone is tilted, a signature of fine Australian opal. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is eye clean, which means you will not see any inclusions that distract from the stone with the naked eye, and the intense color intensity ensures the play of color commands attention even in soft light. The polish is excellent, giving a smooth surface that reflects light evenly and enhances the opal’s satiny sheen, and because this piece is completely untreated with no enhancements, you are buying a natural gem that has been carefully cut and finished to show its best inherent beauty.

From a gemological and practical perspective this White Opal offers an exceptional balance of beauty and durability for an opal, and because it originates in Australia it comes from the most respected source for quality opal material. The heart shape is a romantic and versatile choice, and the tablet cut keeps the depth shallow at 1.64 mm which is perfect for rings and pendants where a low profile reduces the risk of edge knocks, while still preserving remarkable color play across the surface. I recommend settings that offer protection along the outer edge, such as a bezel or partial bezel, or a low prong design for earrings where the opal sits comfortably close to the ear, and for rings a protective halo will both frame the heart shape and protect the thin edge. Care for this opal is straightforward, avoid harsh chemicals and high heat, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, and if you live in extremely dry climates a little moisture sometimes helps prevent crazing, although because this is an untreated Australian White Opal its stability is consistent under normal wear.
