This translucent White Opal is a finely presented 1.22 carat oval, with dimensions 10.00 by 7.98 by 2.37 mm, cut in a tablet style to maximize face up color and stability. The stone displays a multi color play of fire across a soft white body, with a medium light color intensity that balances a delicate ground color and visible flashes of green, blue, and subtle reds. Clarity is graded as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, indicating no inclusions or disruptions that are visible without magnification, and the polish is excellent, giving a smooth reflective surface that enhances the opal play. There has been no enhancement applied to this gem, and the origin is Australia, a provenance that is highly regarded for quality white opal material. The opal type is White Opal, and the tablet cut further contributes to a durable profile that is well suited to ring or pendant settings.
For an educated buyer this opal represents value on several technical levels, The Natural Gemstone Company presents it with full disclosure of its characteristics. The tablet cut is used deliberately to preserve thickness while presenting a broad display of color, which is particularly important for white opal where body tone and play of color must be balanced. The medium light body tone allows the spectral colors to be visible without overwhelming the gem with darkness, and the eye clean clarity ensures that light transmission and color play are not interrupted by fissures or obvious internal features. The absence of enhancement is a significant factor for collectors who prioritize natural state material, and Australian origin adds market confidence given the established reputations of Australian fields for producing stable and attractive white opal. Practical considerations include its dimensions and carat weight which make it versatile for classic jewelry settings, the excellent polish that aids in everyday wear, and the tablet cut that offers both visual appeal and structural soundness. For clients seeking a natural, well documented White Opal with pleasing color dynamics and secure origins, this piece offers a balanced combination of aesthetic charm and gemological integrity.
