1.17 Ct. White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a singular White Opal from our collection at The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautiful translucent 1.17 carat oval gem that captures the essence of Australian opal mining. This multi color opal measures 12.79 x 8.11 x 1.71 mm, and it has been fashioned into a tablet cut that maximizes surface play of color while maintaining a sleek and wearable profile. The clarity is graded eye clean when evaluated at eye level, allowing the internal fire to show without distraction. Color intensity is intense, and the polish is excellent, resulting in a smooth reflective surface that enhances every flash of green, red, and violet across the stone. Importantly, this opal is free of enhancement, a natural specimen from Australia, making it a genuine choice for collectors and jewelry designers who value authenticity and untreated beauty.

When you view this White Opal, you will notice the delicate balance between its translucent body and the vivid spectral flashes that dance across the tablet surface. The opal displays a pleasing mosaic of colors that shift with every tilt and change in light, offering strong patches of green and red offset by subtler blues and purples. The tablet cut creates an expansive visual canvas, so even at 1.17 carats the gem reads larger when set into a ring or pendant. Its oval outline is classical and versatile, lending itself to both contemporary and vintage inspired mountings. Because the gem is eye clean and well polished, you will find that settings which highlight the stone, rather than hiding it, are ideal. A simple bezel will protect the thin tablet profile, while prong settings will allow maximum light exposure and movement of color. For customers seeking a one of a kind center stone for an engagement ring, a pendant that catches the light like a secret, or a custom piece that celebrates natural Australian opal, this gem is an excellent candidate.

Caring for this White Opal is straightforward, and because it is untreated, its value and character will be preserved with mindful wear. Avoid harsh chemicals, extreme heat, and prolonged immersion in water for jewelry designs that expose the stone directly. Clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed, and store separately to prevent abrasions to the tablet surface. At The Natural Gemstone Company we provide detailed provenance information and can assist with custom setting recommendations to protect the stone while showcasing its play of color. We can also arrange secure shipping, insurance appraisal, and professional mounting services if desired. This opal combines natural Australian origin, no enhancement, intense color, and an eye clean clarity in a convenient and elegant oval tablet form. If you would like additional photographs from different angles, lighting suggestions for display, or guidance on selecting a setting that complements the gem, please let us know and we will be happy to assist you in creating a treasured piece.
