0.97 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

At The Natural Gemstone Company I am pleased to present one beautiful opaque 0.97 carat oval shape multi color opal, this White Opal is a delicate and luminous stone that measures 8.96 by 7.11 by 3.25 millimeters, it has been fashioned as a classic cabochon cut to maximize its play of color and soft glow, the gem is multi color with flashes of warm coral, cool green, and soft blue dancing across a creamy white body, the clarity grade is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, this means minor internal characteristics that do not distract from the overall beauty, the color intensity is medium intense which gives strong flashes without overpowering subtle body tone, the polish is excellent, and there has been no enhancement to this natural gem, the origin of this opal is Australia, a source renowned for producing opals with exceptional play of color and stable body tone.

This White Opal is ideal for a wide range of jewelry designs, the oval cabochon is perfectly suited for rings, pendants, or bespoke earrings where the domed surface allows the play of color to be admired from many angles, the 0.97 carat weight and the compact dimensions make it a versatile centerpiece for both delicate and statement pieces, the medium intense color intensity means the stone performs beautifully in both warm and cool metal settings, a yellow gold bezel will emphasize the warmer flashes while a white gold or platinum setting will create a modern contrast that highlights the cooler tones, because the stone is opaque and carries only very slight inclusions at eye level it photographs well and wears confidently, the excellent polish enhances light return and gives the surface a satiny, jewel like finish, since there has been no enhancement to the stone, you are acquiring a natural Australian opal whose color and character are inherent and enduring.

I am happy to assist with any questions about setting options, custom designs, or matching pieces, at The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance and description of every gem, we can provide guidance on mounting choices that protect and showcase the cabochon profile, opal is an elegant yet relatively soft gem so we recommend protective settings for rings that will be worn daily, for pendants and earrings a bezel or partial bezel setting will secure the stone and reduce the risk of impact damage, to care for this White Opal simply avoid harsh chemicals, sudden temperature changes, and abrasive cleaners, clean gently with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, if you would like additional images, video under different lighting, or certification notes, please let me know and I will arrange them promptly, this 0.97 carat Australian White Opal is a refined and natural choice for anyone seeking a unique, colorful cabochon that blends classic charm with lively optical character, I look forward to helping you bring this gem into a finished piece you will cherish.
