1.13 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Introducing a truly special White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautiful opaque pear shaped gem that showcases a delicate and lively play of color. This opal weighs 1.13 carats, and measures 11.85 x 7.63 x 2.30 mm, in a tablet cut that has been expertly shaped to highlight its internal fire. The gem is classified as a White Opal, originating from Australia, with no enhancement, and an excellent polish that gives the surface a smooth, satiny sheen. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level, and the grade is very slightly included, which means the gem shows minute natural characteristics that do not detract from its visual appeal, but instead confirm its natural origin and authenticity. The medium light color intensity gives this opal a soft, ethereal body tone that serves as an elegant backdrop for flashes of green, hints of red, and subtle blue that shift as the gem moves, creating an engaging and dynamic appearance.

Visually this pear shaped, multi color opal reads as both refined and lively, the tablet cut allowing a broad face that reveals a patchwork of pinfire and flame patterns across the surface. Under different lighting the color distribution changes, appearing more pastel and ghostly in softer, diffused light, and revealing more pronounced spectral flashes when viewed under brighter or directional illumination. The size and proportions, 11.85 by 7.63 millimeters with a shallow depth of 2.30 millimeters, make this stone especially suited to settings where the face up area is showcased, such as solitaire pendants, drop earrings, or an elegant accent in a mixed gemstone ring. The pear shape offers a timeless teardrop silhouette that flatters many designs, elongating the finger when set vertically in a ring, and creating graceful movement when worn as a pendant. Because the opal is opaque with medium light body color, it pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metal choices, and because there is no enhancement, the gem remains an honest, natural specimen whose value is rooted in its inherent characteristics.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in selecting opals that combine pleasing aesthetics with sound gemological attributes, and this Australian White Opal is a fine example of that commitment. The very slightly included clarity offers collectors and designers a natural indicator of origin, while the excellent polish and tablet cut allow the play of color to be appreciated at a glance. For care, opals are relatively soft compared to many other gems, so we recommend protective settings that shield the stone from sharp blows, and gentle cleaning using warm water and a soft cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners. When selecting a setting, consider a bezel or partial bezel to protect the edges, or place the stone in a pendant or earrings where impact risk is lower. If you would like a custom design, our team can advise on metal choice and mounting style to complement the opal body color and play of color, maximizing visual impact while protecting the stone. We invite you to contact The Natural Gemstone Company for additional high resolution images, lighting views on request, or assistance with certification and secure shipping options, and we will gladly provide professional guidance to ensure this 1.13 carat White Opal becomes a treasured centerpiece in your collection or custom jewelry creation.
