0.98 Ct. White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a striking White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a translucent multi color gem that captures the eye and the imagination. This piece weighs 0.98 carat, and it presents a pleasing freeform shape that makes it ideal for bespoke jewelry designs. Its dimensions are 10.05 x 6.79 x 2.48 mm, and the cut is recorded as cut n a to indicate a natural freeform polish rather than a standardized faceted style. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone shows excellent transparency and brightness with only minimal internal characteristics that do not distract from its overall beauty. Color intensity is rated as intense, and you will notice vivid flashes of green, red, and orange against the delicate milky backdrop typical of a fine White Opal. The polish is excellent, creating a smooth, lustrous surface that enhances both the play of color and the tactile quality of the stone. This opal has received no enhancement, and its origin is Australia, a source renowned for producing some of the world most desirable opals. The Natural Gemstone Company stands by the natural provenance of this gem, and we are proud to offer a White Opal that combines authentic origin, responsible sourcing, and superb lapidary work.

When you view this opal under different lighting, you will appreciate how it shifts and performs, with intense color flashes that come to life in daylight and under soft indoor lighting. The freeform shape yields a unique silhouette that works exceptionally well in a bezel set pendant, a custom cocktail ring, or as the centerpiece of a minimalist stud or drop earring. Because the stone is translucent rather than opaque, light travels through it and accentuates the internal play of color, creating a depth and dimensionality that flatly colored stones cannot match. The minimal surface characteristics noted in the very slightly included clarity grade add character without compromising durability, and the excellent polish highlights the fluidity of the color patches. For designers and collectors, this opal presents an opportunity to craft a one of a kind piece that will age gracefully, developing a familiar patina in its setting while retaining the captivating color dynamics that make White Opal so treasured. Our team at The Natural Gemstone Company can advise on ideal setting metal choices, such as warm yellow gold to enhance red and orange flashes, or cool white metals to emphasize green and blue tones.

To care for this opal and preserve its intense play of color, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature changes, and store the gem in a soft pouch separate from harder stones that could scratch its surface. Routine gentle cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soapy water will maintain its polish, and professional inspection when mounted will ensure the setting remains secure. We provide detailed provenance information for this Australian White Opal, and our gem specialists are available to discuss certification options and custom mounting services. Purchasing through The Natural Gemstone Company ensures attentive customer service, insured shipping, and guidance on everything from selecting the ideal metal and mount to long term care advice. If you are creating a signature piece, or adding a distinctive gem to a curated collection, this 0.98 carat translucent White Opal offers intense color, exceptional polish, and natural origin, all presented with the expertise and trustworthiness you expect from The Natural Gemstone Company.
