1.33 Ct. White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a stunning, translucent White Opal from Australia, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem weighs 1.33 carat and is cut into a classic pear shape, a versatile silhouette that flatters both pendant and ring designs. The dimensions measure 11.63 x 7.80 x 2.64 mm, offering a comfortable scale for everyday wear or a statement piece. Its tablet cut emphasizes the opal body and brings the internal play of color to the surface, creating flashes of green and subtle hints of other spectral hues that shift as the stone moves. The clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem s overall beauty when viewed in typical settings. The color intensity is described as light, which is characteristic of fine White Opal, and the polish has been graded excellent, providing a smooth, reflective finish that enhances brilliance. There has been no enhancement applied to this opal, and its natural origin in Australia underscores its quality and provenance.

From a gemological and design perspective, White Opal is cherished for its delicate, luminous ground color combined with an inner life of play of color. This particular specimen is multi color, with dominant green flashes that dance across the surface, making it especially attractive in settings that allow light to penetrate and reveal movement. The tablet cut creates a flattened dome, which can be set to showcase color patches and broad flashes. Because the color intensity is light, the opal acquires a soft, ethereal presence that works beautifully in both modern and vintage inspired jewelry. The very slight inclusions are not intrusive, and combined with the excellent polish, the stone maintains a clean, luminous appearance. For mounting, consider a bezel setting to protect the edges and back of this opal, or a low profile prong setting that secures the stone while allowing maximum light exposure. The size and bright internal fire also make it an ideal central stone for a custom pendant, where its pear shape can echo natural motifs or be complemented by accent stones that pick up the green flashes.

Caring for this White Opal requires gentle handling and appropriate settings to preserve its beauty over time. Avoid extreme temperature changes and prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, and clean the gem with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when necessary. Because this opal has no enhancements, it reflects its natural state and should be treated as a prized, organic material. If you would like to pair it with metals, warm yellow gold will highlight the green tones and bring a classic warmth, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the pearly background and create a more contemporary look. At The Natural Gemstone Company we are committed to helping you choose the right setting and offering guidance on custom design options that protect and showcase this piece. This Australian White Opal is a rare opportunity to own a well cut, multi color gem with excellent polish and minimal inclusions, ready to become a treasured focal point in your jewelry collection. If you have any questions about this opal, its suitability for a specific design, or shipping and certification options, we will be happy to assist you.
