0.92 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This pear shaped White Opal weighs 0.92 carat and measures 11.71 x 7.80 x 1.82 mm, presented in a tablet cut that emphasizes a broad flat table with a shallow pavilion, engineered to maximize surface play of color while maintaining a low profile for bezel integration. The material is opaque with a medium light body intensity, and the opal displays multi color play of color with distinct flashes of green, red and blue dispersed across the table. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included at eye level, indicating only minimal internal features that do not interrupt the play of color or the overall appearance. The polish is excellent, producing a clean reflective surface that enhances pinfire and broad flash patterns under directional light. This stone is natural, untreated, and has no enhancements, and it originates from Australia, a classic provenance for White Opal. The tablet cut was executed to preserve thickness where needed for durability while creating an ideal surface geometry for opal diffraction phenomena.

From a lapidary and setting perspective this piece benefits from mounting strategies that respect its shallow profile and tablet geometry. Recommended settings include low bezel or flush mounts that support the perimeter and minimize stress on the narrow edges, especially given the 1.82 mm thickness at the pavilion. Orientation of the table should be determined in situ to present the strongest play of color face up under typical wear conditions, and light access from multiple angles will reveal the full spectrum of chromatic activity. For designers and collectors seeking a natural Australian White Opal with clear documentation of cut, clarity, and finish, this stone represents a technically refined example suitable for pendants, stud earrings, and delicate rings where protection from impact and solvents is provided. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this opal with full disclosure of origin and treatment status, and we can advise on bespoke mounting options and protective settings tailored to the tablet cut and the gem s optical characteristics. Care recommendations include avoiding rapid temperature changes, chemical exposure, and abrasive impacts to preserve the excellent polish and the integrity of the play of color.
