One beautiful translucent 1.41 carat oval shape multi color opal, measuring 8.98 by 6.89 by 4.51 millimeters, awaits the connoisseur who appreciates discreet drama. This gem is a White Opal from Australia, cabochon cut to reveal an even, silky dome, with a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, an excellent polish, and no enhancement. At first glance the stone offers a luminous, opalescent milkiness, a soft pearlescent field that catches light and yields cool blue and green flashes that drift across the surface. Where some opals announce themselves with bold, graphic patterning, this piece converses in refined nuance, offering an elegant play of color that will read as tasteful and authoritative in jewelry that signifies achievement and taste.
In hue and tone this opal occupies a rare, refined place among famous sources. Compared to Coober Pedy white opals from South Australia this gem shares the serene, ivory bodytone but distinguishes itself with slightly cooler blue and seafoam accents that feel almost maritime in mood. Against Ethiopian Welo opals, which are renowned for bright, often neon flashes and a tendency toward high transparency, this White Opal presents a more classic, understated translucence that feels timeless rather than trendy. In contrast to Lightning Ridge black opals whose dramatic, dark bodytone and jewel like flashes make an immediate theatrical statement, this stone is quietly authoritative, its medium tone allowing color to emerge like a whisper rather than a proclamation. If Mexican fire opals glow from within with warm orange and red vigour, this Australian White Opal offers a cooler, more sophisticated spectrum that complements high gold and platinum mountings with equal grace. For those who appreciate the soft adularescence of Sri Lankan moonstone, this opal offers a cousinly sheen, but with a broader range of color play and a body that carries more depth.
Presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, this 1.41 carat oval White Opal is suited to the collector who values provenance, natural beauty, and the quiet confidence of a gem that asserts status without ostentation.
