The opal is a gemstone renowned for its captivating play of color and unique appearance, and the opal we're examining displays precisely these traits in abundance. It is a 1.15 carat oval shape opal with a composition that showcases its translucent nature—a characteristic highly sought after by gemstone aficionados. With dimensions measuring 10.31 x 8.21 x 2.19 mm, this opal exhibits a remarkable presence, drawing the eye not just with its size, but with an intricate display of multi-hued colors that shift and change with the angle of view. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present such a specimen that truly exemplifies the brilliance and splendor of nature's wonders.
This opal's notable feature is its tablet cut, a choice that enhances its overall allure by fully utilizing the gemstone's substantial surface area to display colors effectively. A tablet cut is characterized by its flat nature, which maximizes both the area available for color play and the gemstone's inherent translucency. This type of cut is particularly demanding, necessitating precision and skill to ensure even color distribution and optimal light reflection. The result is an opal that invites admiration and comes alive in differing lighting conditions, revealing nuances and spectrum shifts intrinsic to its particular cut.
In terms of clarity, this opal is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. This grade signifies that any inclusions present are not readily discernible without the aid of magnification, allowing its pure aesthetic qualities to dominate visual perception. Such a clarity grade underscores the opal's suitability for fine jewelry, where visual perfection is paramount. Further enhancing the opal's allure, it boasts a medium light color intensity. This attribute ensures a balanced interplay of vibrancy and translucence, achieving a harmonious effect that captivates without overwhelming, permitting each color facet to be appreciated individually.
The craftsmanship employed in polishing this opal is nothing short of exceptional. Achieving an excellent polish is a testament to skilled artisanship, whereby every facet and the entire surface of the gemstone is flawlessly finished to reflect and refract light with maximum effect. The luminous sheen and smooth touch are just the surface layers of this opal's intrinsic value, cementing its place as an exemplary specimen of artisanal excellence from The Natural Gemstone Company.
Arguably, one of the most appealing aspects of this gemstone is its durability. Australian White Opals, such as this one, are known for their resilience and robust nature, making them suitable for daily wear in various jewelry settings. The framework of these opals is silica spheres, structured in a way that affords strength without sacrificing beauty. This inherent durability means the opal can withstand the pressures of regular use, maintaining its stunning visage even when worn in a ring, pendant, or set of earrings over extended periods. Effective for crafting bespoke jewelry pieces, it promises not just exquisite beauty but practicality, appealing to both enthusiasts and connoisseurs committed to wearing precious gems in their daily lives.
