1.10 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a beautiful translucent White Opal, a 1.10 carat oval shape multi color opal that captures attention with delicate flashes of color across a soft white body tone. This gem measures 10.08 x 8.11 x 2.28 mm, and it is finished as a classic cabochon cut to maximize the play of color and to offer a smooth, inviting surface. The translucency allows light to penetrate and interact with the internal structure, producing subtle greens, flashes of red, and hints of blue as the stone moves, creating an elegant and ever changing appearance. The overall color intensity is medium light, which makes this opal versatile for a range of jewelry styles, from refined everyday wear to special occasion pieces. Origin is Australia, a source renowned for producing opals with balanced color and reliable quality, and the stone is presented without any enhancement, preserving its natural character and appeal.

Technically this opal has been evaluated with a clarity grade of very slightly included, assessed at eye level, which means that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall beauty when set into a design. The polish is excellent, providing a high sheen that complements the cabochon profile and enhances the visual depth of the play of color. As a White Opal with a translucent body and multi color flashes, it responds beautifully to different lighting conditions, showing more internal fire in brighter light and a softer glow under warmer tones. At 10.08 x 8.11 x 2.28 mm, the oval outline offers a balanced face up area that is ideal for both solitary settings and as a focal point surrounded by accent stones. The shallow profile of the cabochon supports comfortable wear in rings and pendants, while also making the gem simple to bezel or prong set by a skilled jeweler. Care recommendations include avoiding exposure to rapid temperature changes, strong chemicals, and extended immersion in water, and it is best to clean this opal with warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh cleaning agents.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in sourcing gems with clear provenance and honest grading, and this White Opal exemplifies our commitment to natural beauty and integrity. For customers considering this stone for a custom project, I recommend pairing it with warm metals such as yellow gold to enhance the red and orange flashes, or with white gold or platinum to emphasize the cooler green and blue hues, though the stone is versatile enough to complement mixed metal designs as well. If you prefer a secure and classic presentation, a bezel setting will protect the edges and keep the opal safe for daily wear, while a low profile prong setting can showcase more of the stone to catch light from more angles. We can provide additional photos under daylight and incandescent light to demonstrate the play of color, and we can arrange a video consultation to show the stone live. Our team is available to discuss mounting options, provide a final appraisal, and arrange insured shipping if you wish to purchase. Choosing this White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company means acquiring a naturally beautiful gem with an excellent polish, no enhancement, and authentic Australian origin, and we are here to assist you with any questions and to ensure a confident and satisfying purchase.
