0.88 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

One beautiful translucent 0.88 carat pear shape multi color opal, type White Opal, measures 9.78 x 6.58 x 2.46 mm and displays the classic pear cabochon profile favored for pendants and drop earrings. The gem is cut as a cabochon, presenting a smooth domed surface that enhances the internal play of color and the stone translucency. Color attributes are described as medium intense, with multi color flashes visible across the face when viewed in varying light angles. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, consistent with natural formation features that do not detract from the gem aesthetic. The polish is excellent, producing a high quality luster across the dome and a pleasing faceted appearance in reflected highlights. No enhancement has been applied to this opal, and the origin is Australia, a region known for producing well formed White Opal specimens.

From a practical perspective this 0.88 carat pear shape opal is well suited to fine jewelry applications where a single focal stone is desired, such as solitaire pendants or bezel set drop earrings, where the cabochon form will protect the stone and maximize its visual appeal. The dimensions and moderate thickness provide good stability for secure settings, while the translucency and medium intense play of color allow the stone to integrate with both white and yellow metal settings. Care recommendations include avoiding prolonged exposure to abrupt temperature changes and to household chemicals, storing the opal in a padded environment when not in use, and cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. A standard gemological report can be provided on request, and additional images are available for assessment.
