1.14 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This beautiful translucent 1.14 carat white opal is an excellent example of a multi color Australian opal, presented in an oval shape with dimensions 10.05 x 8.03 x 2.19 mm, and finished with a tablet cut. The opal displays a pleasing medium light color intensity and a lively play of color across red and green flashes against a soft white body tone, which is characteristic of high quality white opals. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning minor internal features are present but do not detract from the overall visual appeal when set in jewelry. The polish is excellent, providing a smooth surface that maximizes the stone s reflective qualities and the scintillation of its color patches. No enhancement has been applied, so the gem remains in its natural untreated state, which is important to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize provenance and natural condition.

For the educated buyer, several factors make this opal an attractive acquisition. Australian origin remains a benchmark for superior white opal material, and provenance contributes directly to both aesthetic value and market confidence. The tablet cut is a thoughtful lapidary choice for translucent white opal, as it preserves the color play while producing a low profile suitable for rings and pendants, and it reduces the risk of stress fractures compared with overly thin faceting. The very slightly included clarity grade indicates that the stone will set well in fine jewelry without unexpected visual interruptions, while the medium light intensity ensures the play of color is visible under normal lighting conditions. Because the piece has not undergone enhancements, its natural optical characteristics, stability, and long term value are preserved. The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the quality and description of this opal, and we recommend professional setting methods that protect the stone from sharp blows and prolonged exposure to extreme heat and chemicals. This opal is a refined choice for collectors and designers seeking a natural, well cut, and properly graded white opal with clear documentation of origin and treatment.
