1.10 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This offering from The Natural Gemstone Company is a beautiful semi-transparent White Opal, a multi color opal weighing 1.10 carats, presented in a graceful freeform shape that measures 15.20 x 4.70 x 2.10 mm, and finished in a smooth cabochon cut. The gem displays a pleasing medium light color intensity with delicate play of color across its surface, subtle flashes of red and green that appear as you shift the stone, and an overall translucent body that enhances its internal fire. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the casual observer while retaining natural character under close inspection. The polish is excellent, producing a silky surface and a refined luster, and there has been no enhancement to alter its natural beauty. Origin is Australia, a respected source for White Opal, and this specimen exemplifies the classic charm and soft opalescence collectors and designers prize.

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend this White Opal for elegant custom jewelry, it works particularly well as a slender pendant or an elongated ring cabochon where the freeform shape and play of color can be showcased. The semi-transparent body and moderate size make it versatile for both contemporary and vintage inspired settings, and a bezel mount will protect the stone while emphasizing its smooth outline. Because this opal is natural and untreated, care is important, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, store wrapped in a soft cloth to prevent scratches, and remove jewelry during activities that could subject the stone to knocks. This White Opal will appeal to someone seeking a unique, naturally beautiful gem with subtle multicolored flashes, and we are happy to assist with setting recommendations, secure shipping, and professional mounting options through The Natural Gemstone Company, contact us to discuss custom designs or to reserve this opal for your next creation.
