1.07 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This is a beautiful translucent White Opal, a one of a kind natural gem offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. It weighs 1.07 carats and is cut into an elegant oval shape with exact dimensions of 9.88 by 7.39 by 2.24 millimeters, presented in a classic cabochon cut that maximizes its play of color. The stone displays multi color flashes across a soft, milky white body tone, with lively red and green highlights that appear and dance as the light moves. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included when examined at eye level, and the gem shows a light color intensity overall, which serves to enhance the delicate and refined fire within the stone. The polish is excellent which gives the surface a smooth, glass like finish and allows the internal color patches to shine without distraction. There has been no enhancement to this opal, and its origin is Australia, a region famed for producing some of the most desirable and structurally pure opals in the world. This White Opal is ideal for someone seeking a gem that balances subtle body color with vivid internal color play, a classic example of Australian opal craftsmanship and natural beauty.

The soft translucency and oval cabochon shape make this gem especially versatile for fine jewelry design, and it can be set as a centerpiece in a pendant, ring, or pair of drop earrings. Because the opal is light in body color and shows lively flashes of red and green, warm metals like yellow gold will emphasize the warmer tones, while white gold or sterling silver will create a cleaner, more contemporary look that highlights the milky background and the gemological purity of the piece. A bezel setting will protect the delicate edges of the cabochon and is a secure choice for everyday wear, while a low profile prong mount can allow more light to reach the stone and increase the visibility of its shifting colors. At just over one carat and measuring under one centimeter across, this opal will sit comfortably on the hand or at the throat, and it is an excellent option for custom commissions or for replacing a center stone in a refined, understated design. Because it is natural and untreated, the stone carries added intrinsic value for collectors and lovers of genuine gemstones, and its Australian origin is a mark of quality that collectors recognize and appreciate.
