1.00 Ct. Crystal Opal from Australia

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we understand the significance of owning a gemstone that is not just visually stunning, but also holds an intrinsic value that machine-made counterparts simply cannot offer. This is exemplified in our exquisite 1.00 carat oval shape multi-color opal, derived quintessentially from the renowned opal mines of Australia. Significantly setting itself apart from lab-grown stones which are often plentiful and are synthesized to appear flawless, our opal embodies the authentic allure and rarity that only Mother Nature can provide.

Lab-grown gemstones may be manufactured under controlled conditions, offering perfect clarity and uniform color, yet they often lack the demystifying characteristics of natural stones. Our 1.00 carat multi-color opal boasts a semi-transparent visage with unique inclusions that are visible upon close scrutiny. This very slightly included clarity, meticulously evaluated at eye level, offers a truly genuine feel. The blemishes within a natural gemstone such as this opal are not defects, but rather endearing testimonies to its geological journey spanning millions of years. Every natural opal has a unique story inscribed within its creation, giving our customers a connection to the Earth's past that lab-grown gems fail to replicate.

Color is also where natural gemstones make an indelible mark of superiority. The enchanting medium light color intensity of our opal glistens with an iridescent play of hues that shift with every slight movement. This mesmerizes and captures the audience in a dance of colors that cannot quite be duplicated by synthetic means. Lab-grown stones often exhibit a uniform color that, although attractive, feels static and devoid of the depth our natural opal exhibits. Each opal from The Natural Gemstone Company encapsulates a mosaic of colors that highlights its natural origin, giving it a unique identity amid a sea of uniformity.

Moreover, our Australian opal is polished to perfection with an excellent finish that beams under any light. While all polished stones sparkle to some extent, the excellent polish of a natural opal ensures that each facet reflects light in a myriad of directions, enhancing its vibrant color spectrum. Indeed, lab-grown alternatives can achieve a high polish, but without the natural variation in texture and composition seen in authentic opal, these synthetics often lack the luster of a genuinely high-quality stone.

From a value perspective, natural gemstones like our opal tend to appreciate over time, whereas lab-grown stones do not. This factor resonates with gemstone enthusiasts and collectors who value both aesthetic allure and financial investment. Our opal, sourced with transparency from Australia, is a testament to our commitment at The Natural Gemstone Company to provide not only beautiful but also valuable keepsakes that transcend generations. When you choose one of our gemstones, you are assured of a piece with inherent value and rarity that lab-created stones cannot rival.

In conclusion, owning our 1.00 carat oval shape multi-color opal is more than just possessing a captivating gem, it is a celebration of natural art that stands out distinct from lab-produced alternatives. This opal’s unique characteristics, its origin, polish, and the richness of its colors are tangible advantages open to devotion and admiration. Trust The Natural Gemstone Company to convey the essence of natural beauty through our carefully curated selection of gems, with each stone presenting an opportunity to own a piece of the Earth's remarkable heritage.
