0.81 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Born from the patient alchemy of sea and stone, this pear shaped multi color opal began its long life beneath ancient Australian skies millions of years ago, when silica rich waters seeped into the cool, sleeping seams of the earth and, drop by patient drop, laid down microscopic spheres that would one day sing with color. In quiet caverns the water exhaled, and the silica hardened into a translucent Crystal slash Jelly Opal whose heart remembers tides and warm winds. Time folded like soft linen, pressure gentled the form, and within that hush the fire of diffraction was born, scattering green and blue and violet into a jewel waiting to be found. Today this small miracle weighs 0.81 carat, it carries the gentle geometry of a pear shape and the intimate, flattering silhouette of a tablet cut, it measures 8.96 x 7.19 x 2.29 mm, it is translucent and it holds slightly included details when viewed at eye level that only deepen its character, not diminish it, it shows intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and it has no enhancement, a natural testament to its origin in Australia and to the care of The Natural Gemstone Company.

Hold it up and imagine dawn upon a still bay, a varnish of aurora captured in a single curve, the tablet cut making each hue a ribbon that dances as you turn it. The play of color in this Crystal slash Jelly Opal is a poem in motion, flashes of sea glass green, storm blue and amethyst light that wake when the light bends and the heart opens. Set in a memory ring or a pendant that kisses the throat, this stone will speak of promises kept, and of quiet vows that need no trumpet to be true. Our hands at The Natural Gemstone Company have polished its surface to a mirror that invites the eye to wander, and our promise to you is a gemstone given whole and honest, with no enhancement, ready to be set into the piece that tells your story. If you wish to carry a fragment of the ocean and a page of deep time with you, this opal offers its luminous history and its soft, living color as a keepsake for new beginnings, and as a companion for long nights and bright mornings alike.
