1.20 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

Allow me to introduce a truly captivating gem from The Natural Gemstone Company, a one of a kind pear shaped White Opal that balances subtlety and spectacle with finesse. This specimen weighs 1.20 carat, and measures 11.86 x 7.74 x 2.28 mm, and it has been expertly shaped into a classic pear silhouette that flatters both vertical and horizontal settings. The gem is opaque, with a cabochon cut that brings out its inner fire, and it displays multi color flashes distributed across a soft white body tone. The overall presentation is elegant and versatile, making this piece an excellent choice for a refined pendant or a statement ring, and the excellent polish enhances the smooth surface to maximize brightness and tactile appeal. Origin is Australia, a source renowned for producing some of the finest opals in the world, and enhancement, no enhancement, confirming that this gem is entirely natural and untouched beyond expert cutting and polishing.

Visually this White Opal delights with a medium light color intensity that allows the play of color to sing without overpowering an overall serene appearance, and the flashes you see range from lively greens and blues to warm oranges and delicate pinks depending on viewing angle and light source. Clarity grade, eye clean, evaluated at eye level, speaks to the gem meeting high standards for everyday wearability, and the cabochon cut preserves structural integrity while showcasing the opal play. The opal shows a soft internal texture where colors float across the surface like a watercolor, and because it is opaque the color flashes appear concentrated and painterly, giving the stone a presence that reads beautifully in both modern and vintage designs. The excellent polish ensures that light glides across the surface without distraction, and the overall combination of natural origin, untouched enhancement status, and careful cutting makes this opal a trustworthy choice for collectors and thoughtful gift givers alike.

When considering settings and care, this pear shaped White Opal is particularly suited to bezel settings and protective designs that shield the edges while allowing the top to display its full spectrum of color, and it also pairs wonderfully with warm yellow gold for a classic look or with white gold and platinum for a contemporary aesthetic that highlights cool flash tones. For rings consider settings that offer a slight lip to protect the tip of the pear, and for pendants a low profile mount can keep the stone close to the body to catch ambient light as it moves. Because this opal is natural and untreated, it is important to avoid sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals, clean it with mild soap and water and a soft cloth, and remove it during rough activity to preserve its polish and surface. At The Natural Gemstone Company we stand behind the provenance and quality of our stones, and we are pleased to offer guidance on matching this opal to the ideal mounting and design, whether you are commissioning a bespoke piece or selecting a gem for an existing setting. If you would like additional photographs, exact light studies, or assistance placing an order, we are ready to help you bring this White Opal into a piece of jewelry that will be treasured for years to come.
