Product description

Introducing an exquisite specimen from The Natural Gemstone Company, a round-shaped multi-color opal, remarkable for both its stunning translucence and vivid play of colors, weighing in at 1.04 carats with precise dimensions of 7.08 x 7.09 x 3.20 mm. This opal captures attention with its distinctive cabochon cut, a traditional style that showcases the stone’s natural beauty by enhancing its colorful display. Unlike faceted stones which reflect light off flat surfaces, the smooth, rounded dome of the cabochon provides a gentle glow and improves the visibility of the opal’s distinctive play-of-color, particularly adored by gemstone aficionados.

The opal is sourced from Australia, renowned worldwide for producing some of the finest opals. Our stone boasts a clarity grade assessed at 'slightly included', meaning minor inclusions are present yet they do not distract from its overall allure. This clarity grade ensures that the gem retains its luminosity and opulence. The intensity of color in our opal is classified as 'intense', which is a distinguishing attribute for opals in this classification. Such intense color signifies that the opal’s play-of-color is both vivid and varied, showcasing an intricate spectrum of hues that transform when viewed from different angles. The pure synergy of spectral colors combined with the gem’s transparency endows the stone with an aura of unparalleled appeal.

Additionally, this opal has undergone an impeccable polish. Polishing is critical in maximizing the intrinsic beauty of any gemstone, and here, it ensures the surface of the opal is smooth, reducing the visibility of inclusions and maximizing the reflection and refraction of light within the stone’s body, providing it a dazzling luster. Expert craftsmanship guarantees the opal is finished to perfection, bringing its visual and tactile qualities to the forefront. The effects of light interaction with this opal are further enhanced by such meticulous polish, rendering it a centerpiece worthy of high regard, making any jewelry piece it adorns radiate elegance.

On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, opals generally rank between 5.5 to 6.5, adequately balanced between beauty and function. While this might be lower than the more rigid gemstones like sapphires or diamonds, it affords the opal significant resilience suitable for setting in necklaces, brooches, or earrings, which are less susceptible to hard knocks. Being mindful of its unique composition, care should be exercised in its handling and placement in protective settings to maintain its longevity and beauty over time. The hardness level ensures that, while the gemstone is admired for its visual attributes, one must appreciate it with a considered level of care, much like fine art, ensuring its stunning vibrancy is enjoyed for many generations.

At The Natural Gemstone Company, we understand that purchasing a gemstone like our premium Australian opal is an esteemed investment. Whether meant to adorn high-end jewelry or to be collected for its display-worthy aesthetic and captivating dynamism, this opal is presented with a guarantee of quality and authenticity. Our commitment to revealing the potential of each gemstone is highlighted in this opal's presentation, uniting the art of cutting and polishing with a passion for the nuances found within nature. We look forward to assisting you in experiencing the distinct qualities of this opal, sure to charm collectors and gem enthusiasts with its undeniable charisma.
