This pear shaped White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a refined and versatile gemstone that will appeal to collectors and designers alike, it weighs 1.27 carat and presents a soft, translucent bodytone that allows a delicate play of color to shimmer through its surface, the overall presence of multi color flashes gives it a lively personality, yet the stone retains a calm and elegant white base that harmonizes with both contemporary and classic jewelry styles, photographed against a dark background to accentuate its subtle fire, this opal looks particularly attractive when viewed at an angle, where green and red flashes become more pronounced, and the smooth tablet shape creates a clean visual line that makes the gem suitable for a wide variety of settings, whether set as a centerpiece in a pendant, as a refined drop in earrings, or nestled in a protective bezel in a ring.

Technically the gem measures 12.18 x 8.01 x 2.36 mm, its tablet cut emphasizes a broad, slightly flattened profile that spreads the opal play of color across the surface, this cut differs from a high domed cabochon by providing a flatter silhouette that is excellent for modern designs and for settings that require a lower profile, clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are minor and do not detract from the gematics of the stone or the quality of its play of color, color intensity is classified as medium light, which translates to a gentle and appealing luminosity rather than a bold, overpowering display, polish is excellent and the surface is smooth to the eye and to the touch, enhancement is none, this opal is natural and untreated, and origin is Australia, a source known for producing opals with balanced bodytones and attractive color play.

In practical design terms this 1.27 carat pear shaped opal brings both beauty and versatility, the moderate dimensions make it a comfortable size for a pendant focal point that sits close to the collar, and it also suits smaller statement rings that benefit from a pear silhouette, because opal is softer than many other gem materials special attention to setting and care is recommended, use bezel settings or protective rub over edges to reduce risk of chipping, avoid subjecting the gem to strong heat, sudden temperature changes, or harsh chemical cleaners, store separately from harder stones to prevent scratching, when setting choose warm or cool metals according to the color play preference, warm gold tones bring out warm flashes like red and orange, while white gold or platinum can highlight the cooler flashes of green and blue and preserve a modern aesthetic, the tablet cut sits comfortably under low profiles which helps in day to day wear and reduces exposure to knocks and bumps.
