0.90 Ct. White Opal from Australia

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I am pleased to present a truly lovely example of natural opal, offered as a White Opal of exceptional character and finesse. This piece is a translucent 0.90 carat pear shaped multi color opal, with precise dimensions of 12.05 x 7.85 x 1.60 mm, cut as a tablet to best display its internal play of color. The gem has been evaluated as eye clean at eye level, showing no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and it displays a medium color intensity that harmonizes subtle body tone with lively flashes of hue. The polish is excellent, allowing light to play freely across the surface and to reveal the delicate spectrum of colors. Importantly for discerning buyers, this opal has no enhancements, and its origin is Australia, a source respected for producing high quality white opal material. The combination of translucent body, tablet cut, and pear shape yields a gem that reads both classic and contemporary, ideal for someone who appreciates natural gemstones with refined presence.

Visually this White Opal offers a soft and inviting field of pastel hues, with flashes that include cool greens, soft blues, warm pinks, and occasional hints of orange when the gem is rotated under light. The tablet cut produces a broad face for viewing the internal color patches, and the pear shape creates a gentle teardrop silhouette that flatters many jewelry designs. In daylight the translucent body allows the background to glow softly, while under artificial light the colors may become more concentrated and lively. Because of its medium color intensity the stone is versatile, pairing well with both white metal settings for a delicate, contemporary look, and with warmer metals for contrast that emphasizes the warmer flashes. The modest thickness of 1.60 mm makes this opal suitable for well crafted bezels, elegant pendants, or low profile rings that protect the stone from impact, while still allowing the play of color to be experienced fully.

From a practical and gemological standpoint this opal is a responsible choice for buyers who value natural, untreated material. The clarity grade of eye clean at eye level reflects careful cutting and selection, emphasizing stones that present beauty without the need for filling or treatment. The absence of enhancement is an important feature for collectors and custom jewelers who prefer natural surfaces and stable origins. Origin from Australia adds to the desirability, since Australian white opal is known for its classic body tone and reliable color play. In terms of handling and care, opal is a precious gemstone that benefits from mindful wear. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, and do not use ultrasonic cleaners. Gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush or cloth will keep the polish bright and the surface free of residues. When designing a setting, consider options that offer protection for the thin tablet profile, such as bezels or protective halo settings, and avoid placing the point of the pear in a position where it may be struck.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we appreciate that each gem has a story, and this white opal tells a story of natural formation, careful cutting, and honest presentation. Its compact 0.90 carat weight makes it an excellent focal stone for a refined pendant, a classic drop earring, or a meaningful ring designed with daily wear in mind but protected by a considered mounting. For collectors seeking an untreated Australian opal of eye clean clarity and excellent polish, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a piece that balances elegance with natural character. We invite you to contact us for additional images taken under different lighting, to discuss custom mounting options that will highlight the pear form, or to request secure viewing appointments. Our team is available to provide further gemological information and to guide you through design choices that will ensure this white opal becomes a cherished and wearable expression of natural beauty.
