1.09 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Introducing a rare and elegant White Opal from Australia, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this beautiful translucent pear shape opal weighs 1.09 carat, and measures 11.84 x 7.77 x 2.06 mm. The piece has been expertly fashioned into a tablet cut that emphasizes its internal play of color while maintaining a graceful, wearable profile. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents a clean appearance to the unaided eye while retaining natural inclusions that confirm its authenticity. Color intensity is medium light, and the polish is excellent, giving the surface a smooth, luminous finish that reflects and refracts light with a gentle, lively glow. Enhancement is none, indicating this opal is natural and untreated, and the Australian origin places it among the most respected sources for fine white opal material.

Visually this pear shaped multi color opal captivates with softened, pastel flashes that dance across a pale white base, classic for White Opal, yet alive with lively greens, cool blues, and subtle hints of lavender and pink as the stone moves. The tablet cut offers a broad, thin table that allows light to penetrate and reveal a scattering of color patches, which appear more pronounced under directional lighting and in natural daylight. The translucency of the gem contributes to a depth that invites close inspection, creating a soft inner glow that pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metal settings. At 11.84 mm in length, the pear silhouette maintains elegant proportions that make this opal versatile for a range of jewelry designs, from a solitary pendant to a refined accent in an engagement ring or a pair of drop earrings.

From a practical design and care perspective, the opal benefits from settings that protect its perimeter, as opal is more delicate than many traditional gemstones. A bezel setting is recommended to shield the edges and the thin profile provided by the tablet cut, while a halo of small accent stones can add sparkle and create a visual buffer against knocks. If used as a centerpiece in a ring, consider a low bezel or protective bezel with a smooth top for daily wear, and for earrings or pendants the tablet cut sits comfortably against the skin, offering a smooth silhouette that reduces the risk of catching. Cleaning should be gentle, with warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding steam cleaning, ultrasonic baths, or harsh chemicals that can damage the surface or the internal structure. Opal appreciates stable humidity and temperature, so store it away from extreme heat and avoid prolonged exposure to chemicals such as household cleaners or perfumes. The very slightly included clarity grade means you can expect natural character without compromising sparkle, and the lack of enhancement ensures the gem will age naturally, making it a meaningful, long lasting addition to any collection.
