1.05 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a beautiful natural gemstone from The Natural Gemstone Company, a 1.05 carat oval shaped multi color opal that speaks to both classic elegance and vibrant personality. This piece is a White Opal, offered loose and ready for a custom setting, and it measures 9.06 x 7.14 x 2.94 mm, a size that is versatile for rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces. The gem is fashioned as a cabochon cut, which is the traditional and most flattering cut for opal, allowing the internal play of color to animate the surface as light moves. The piece is opaque in body tone, which provides a soft, glowing backdrop for the flashes of color, and its color intensity is rated as medium, giving a balanced brightness that is both wearable and distinctly eye catching.

Looking closely at the gem, you will notice the multi color play that makes opal so beloved, with flecks and flashes that shift from warm fire tones to cooler flashes as you turn it. The patterning in this stone favors small to medium pinfire and patchy areas of color, creating depth and a lively surface that will draw attention without overwhelming a design. The clarity is graded as eye clean when examined at eye level, meaning there are no inclusions or features visible to the naked eye that distract from the gem s beauty. The cabochon profile is smoothly domed and the polish is excellent, resulting in a glossy finish that enhances both the perceived depth and the smooth feel of the stone against the skin. The dimensions are ideal for a comfortable center stone in a ring or as the focal point of an elegant pendant, and the weight of 1.05 carats gives good presence while remaining practical for daily wear.

This opal is of Australian origin, which is recognized globally for producing high quality opals with vibrant play of color and stable material characteristics. There are no enhancements applied to this gem, it is completely natural with no treatments, which we disclose proudly as part of our commitment to transparency. The combination of a natural Australian source and no enhancement means you are acquiring a gem that is authentic, naturally formed, and responsibly presented. For settings and design considerations, the opaque white body and medium intensity make the gem highly adaptable to a range of metals and styles. It will contrast beautifully with warm yellow gold, bringing out fiery orange and red flashes, and it will create a serene, luminous pairing with white gold or platinum that highlights cooler green and blue flashes. The cabochon cut offers a forgiving cradle for bezel settings, and it also works well in classic prong settings when a secure protective profile is required.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I recommend a few practical care tips to maintain the beauty of this White Opal. Opals are softer than many gemstones, so avoid heavy knocks and sudden temperature extremes, and remove your opal jewelry for strenuous activities. Clean gently with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals. If you prefer, we can provide professional recommendations for protective settings that preserve the stone while maximizing visibility of its play of color. When you choose this opal from The Natural Gemstone Company you benefit from our expertise in selecting and describing each piece accurately, our commitment to honest grading, and our support for custom design and secure shipping. If you would like, I can provide additional detailed photos, advice on complementary stones for a custom piece, or a consultation to help you decide on the best mounting to showcase this lovely White Opal.
