0.84 Ct. White Opal from Australia

One beautiful translucent White Opal, 0.84 carat, pear shape, tablet cut, with dimensions of 11.50 by 7.75 by 1.74 millimeters, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. This stone is a multi color play of light within a soft white base, offering flashes of green and blue that shift as the gem moves under light. The clarity grade is eye clean, evaluated at eye level, meaning the surface and body are free from inclusions that distract the eye at normal viewing distance. The color intensity is medium, which gives a pleasing balance between subtlety and vibrancy. The polish quality is excellent, ensuring a smooth, reflective surface that enhances the opal's innate luster. There has been no enhancement to this opal, and the origin is Australia, a region renowned for producing high quality White Opal material.

As a White Opal, this piece demonstrates the delicate beauty that collectors and designers seek when they want a classic opal character. Its translucency allows light to enter and interact with the internal structure, creating that characteristic play of color that opals are celebrated for. The pear shape adds a touch of elegance and versatility, suitable for solitaire pendants, drop earrings, or as a focal accent in a custom ring design. The tablet cut gives a slightly domed and flat profile that highlights broad flashes of color across the surface, rather than concentrating color into small pinpoints. This cut choice works especially well for showcasing the green and blue color flashes seen in this stone, letting them read clearly at a range of viewing angles. The overall proportions and symmetry are pleasing, and the length to width ratio makes it a graceful choice for both classic and contemporary settings.

From a gemological perspective, the eye clean clarity is an important selling point. Opals can sometimes display internal fractures or inclusions that affect durability and appearance, but this stone was evaluated under standard eye level examination and found to be free of such distracting elements. The medium color intensity is ideal for those who want color that is noticeable but not overpowering, and it will sit beautifully against both light and darker metals. The excellent polish enhances the visual depth of the play of color, and the tablet cut helps create large, attractive color patches that catch attention without requiring direct light. The fact that there has been no enhancement means you are acquiring the natural character of the opal, with no dying, smoke treatment, or resin filling. Origin from Australia further supports its desirability, as Australian White Opals are prized for their purity of base tone and the clarity with which their play of color presents.

When considering settings and design, imagine this pear shaped White Opal suspended as a single drop in a fine pendant, where movement will animate the green and blue flashes and show off the tablet face. It will also make an elegant center for a delicate ring setting, ideally with a protective bezel or a raised gallery that secures the stone while allowing light to reach the tablet surface. For earrings, matched pairs are often preferred, but a single signature stud or drop can be a striking statement. Metal choices will influence how the opal reads visually, and each metal brings a different character. White metals such as platinum or white gold will emphasize the cooler green and blue flashes, creating a modern look. Yellow gold will warm the overall appearance and can create a lovely contrast with the white base of the opal. Rose gold will add a romantic tone while still letting the internal play of color remain the primary visual attraction. Given the stone dimensions and thickness, a skilled jeweler can design a setting that protects the proportions, optimizes light interaction, and complements the natural beauty of the opal.
