1.18 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Presenting a beautiful translucent Crystal Jelly Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, one single freeform shape multi color opal weighing 1.18 carat, with dimensions 13.26 x 8.30 x 1.67 mm. This specimen is a Crystal Jelly Opal that displays a soft translucent body with lively spectral colors playing across the surface. The cut is not applicable for this freeform cab finish, the clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, the color intensity is intense, and the polish is excellent. There has been no enhancement, and the origin of this opal is Australia, a source renowned for producing some of the finest opal material in the world. For customers seeking a gemstone with natural, unenhanced character, this opal offers an authentic, honest presentation that highlights natural opal attributes without treatments.

Visually this opal rewards close examination and daily wear alike, with flashes of green, blue, and subtle pink and purple tones that shift as the light moves. The translucent Crystal Jelly body allows color to appear from within, creating a depth that is distinct from more opaque white opals. Its freeform silhouette and slightly domed profile provide a versatile canvas for creative jewelry design, while the eye clean clarity means the play of color is unobstructed by visible inclusions at normal viewing distances. The superb polish enhances light return and color play, so the surface appears silky and vibrant under direct and diffused lighting. Because there are no enhancements, the color and clarity you see are natural, making this a prized choice for collectors who prefer untreated gemstones. Sourced from Australia, this opal carries the geological heritage and quality standards our customers associate with premium Australian opal.

For practical use and design ideas, the freeform shape and modest carat weight make this piece ideal for a custom pendant, a delicate statement ring, or as an accent in a mixed gemstone composition. A bezel setting or low profile bezel cup tends to protect the thin edges while showcasing the face up color, and artisan jewelers often use this format to preserve the unusual outline and emphasize the internal play of color. Because opal is relatively softer than many common gemstones, avoid ultrasonic cleaning, harsh chemicals, and abrupt temperature changes, and clean gently with mild soap and warm water and a soft brush when needed. Store separately in a padded compartment to prevent scratches from harder materials.
