1.03 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present an object of quiet, confident distinction, a semi transparent cushion shape opal that embodies both subtlety and spectacle, a 1.03 carat Crystal and Jelly Opal sourced from the storied fields of Australia. This gem measures 9.22 by 5.18 by 3.00 mm, and is fashioned in a cabochon cut that allows its inner fire to breathe and move. The stone is multi color in complexion, a soft ethereal body suffused with flashes of green, blue, and warm flashes of pink and orange, the result of a play of color that seems choreographed to flatter the wrist, the neckline, and the quiet attention of those who appreciate rarity. Its semi transparent clarity presents an eye clean appearance when evaluated at eye level, a clarity grade that allows the opal to glow from within, rather than merely reflecting light from its surface. The polish is excellent, each curve and surface rendered with the skill of a master cutter, and the piece is completely natural with no enhancement, a pure expression of nature and craftsmanship.

Viewed in motion, this opal reveals why Crystal and Jelly Opals are so coveted by connoisseurs, the internal landscape seeming both luminous and liquid, a depth that invites contemplation. Intense color intensity animates the gem, the spectral hues shifting with the slightest change in angle, from a gentle sea glass sentiment to a vivid painterly flash. The cabochon cut amplifies this effect, rounding the stone into a tactile form that both protects and displays its play of color. Because the gem is eye clean when observed at eye level, the beauty is uninterrupted by inclusions, meaning the colors remain uninterrupted and pure across the surface, with a clarity that feels composed and deliberate. The excellent polish enhances every facet of the cabochon dome, creating a seamless, silky finish that catches light like satin, and when set in metal it will sit like a secret waiting to be revealed, a private brilliance reserved for the discerning wearer.

Owning this opal is an affirmation of refined taste, a decision to collect not simply an item of adornment but a conversation piece that elevates any setting. The dimensions of 9.22 by 5.18 by 3.00 mm make it ideal for an intimate ring, an understated pendant, or a bespoke pair of earrings where the stone can take center stage. As a product of Australia, it carries with it the romance of ancient soils and the provenance that collectors prize, accompanied by the assurance of The Natural Gemstone Company that each piece is presented with transparent and exacting attention to detail. We encourage clients to imagine the opal mounted in warm yellow gold for a classical contrast, in cool white gold to modernize its palette, or in platinum to lend it an air of architectural restraint. This opal requires no enhancement, so what you see is the unaltered artistry of nature, a living color story that will evolve with wear and light, rewarding the owner with endless discovery. Choosing this cushion shape Crystal and Jelly Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a celebration of rarity, a purchase that speaks to legacy and to a cultivated eye, a gem that rewards with every glance, and a statement that true elegance is both seen and felt.
