1.18 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

From the sun baked fields of Australia to the quiet light of our gem loupe, this White Opal began its journey as a sliver of ancient silica, formed over millennia where water and stone met. Miners working known opal fields unearthed rough pieces that hinted at play of color beneath a milky surface, and one particular piece caught our eye for its gentle transparency and multi color potential. At The Natural Gemstone Company we watched it with care as lapidaries shaped it into a graceful cushion, respecting the stone s natural orientation to preserve its best display of color. The result is a translucent 1.18 carat White Opal, presented in a cabochon cut that enhances depth and movement, measuring 8.15 x 6.21 x 4.46 mm, with light color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, a testament to the mindful selection and skilled cutting that brought this gem to life.

In the polishing studio the opal received an excellent finish, each curve refined to create a soft dome that carries subtle flashes of color across its surface, a whisper of the desert sky and coastal rains that formed it. This stone has not been enhanced, its beauty is entirely natural, and it retains the honest character of Australian opal that collectors and designers value. Imagine this cushion shaped cabochon set in a bezel that cradles its rounded profile, or mounted as a delicate centerpiece that allows light to travel through its translucent body. Its dimensions and 1.18 carat weight make it versatile for rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces that celebrate individuality. When you choose this White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company you are taking home a piece of geological history, a handcrafted jewel shaped by human hands and natural forces, ready to be worn and cherished, a quiet conversation between earth and art that continues its journey with you.
