1.09 Ct. White Opal from Australia

There is a way that some gemstones speak to the imagination across centuries, and this White Opal is one of those rare stones that carries that voice. Mined in Australia and offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this translucent 1.09 carat pear shape multi color opal evokes the same quiet fascination that has drawn civilizations to opal for thousands of years. From antiquity to the modern day, opal has been prized for its mysterious play of color, a gift of nature that seems to contain light itself. This piece is not merely an accessory, it is a continuation of a legacy, a tiny repository of geological time that connects whoever wears it to the landscape of Australia where it was formed, and to the long history of artisans and collectors who have treasured opal for its poetic and enduring beauty.

In form and finish this White Opal shows careful consideration and respect for classical proportions. The gem weighs 1.09 carat, and measures 11.84 by 7.77 by 2.06 millimeters, taking a graceful pear shape that translates elegantly into both traditional and contemporary settings. The tablet cut presents a broad, depth bearing face that allows the stone to show varied flashes of green, blue, and subtle red, all dancing across a soft, milky backdrop. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, which provides character without interrupting the visual harmony. The color intensity is medium light, an attribute that gives the opal a gentle, luminous presence that whispers rather than shouts, and the polish has been carried to an excellent finish that enhances the stone under both soft candlelight and daylight. Importantly, there has been no enhancement to this gem, and it retains its natural state as found in the Australian fields.

For connoisseurs who prize authenticity, the lack of enhancement makes this White Opal especially meaningful, because its beauty is unaltered and honest. The tablet cut and pear shape suggest an aesthetic that is at once timeless and versatile, ideal for a pendant that rests close to the heart, or for a bespoke ring that will be passed as an heirloom. Historically, opals have been set in private treasures, coronets, and personal talismans, and this gem shares that same suitability for ceremonial and personal jewelry alike. Its medium light intensity allows it to harmonize with yellow gold for a warm, antique look, or with white metals for a refined, understated elegance. The very slightly included clarity provides a natural texture that refracts light with a lively, organic quality, and the excellent polish ensures the gem will sit comfortably against the skin while revealing an inner spectacle of color.
