1.48 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Introducing an exceptional White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a translucent, multi color gem weighing 1.48 carat, cut into an elegant marquise shape with a tablet profile. This stone measures 14.00, 7.18, 2.42 millimeters, and it displays a tablet cut that maximizes its surface play while keeping a refined low profile. The clarity is graded eye clean, evaluated at eye level, allowing the vibrant internal fire to show without visible inclusions under normal viewing. Color intensity is described as intense, and the polish is excellent, creating a smooth, glass like surface that enhances the opal body and the shifting colors within. There has been no enhancement to this opal, and its origin is Australia, a region renowned for producing some of the finest opals in the world. If you seek a gem that blends carefully judged proportions, high quality finish, and natural, untreated character, this White Opal is an outstanding candidate.

Visually this marquise tablet presents a luminous white body tone that acts as a stage for a lively display of spectral flashes, the multi color play includes vivid greens and flashes of warm orange and pink with occasional hints of blue as the stone moves in the light. The marquise outline lends an elongated, graceful silhouette that catches light along the length of the gem, while the tablet cut provides a broad face that showcases the opal field distinctly. Because it is translucent, light penetrates and returns in a soft, glowing manner that makes the colors appear to float within the stone. The intense color intensity means the flashes are strong against the white body, making this opal noticeable in direct and diffuse lighting alike. The excellent polish ensures that the surface reflects cleanly, reducing any distraction from the internal play of color and presenting a lively, appealing gem to observers from many angles.

From a jewelry design perspective this 14.00, 7.18, 2.42 millimeter marquise White Opal is versatile and ready to be set into a range of pieces, including custom rings, pendants, earrings, and delicate bracelets. Its tablet cut and low profile make it especially suitable for bezel settings and low bezel cups that protect the edges while allowing the surface and play of color to be admired. A well designed bezel will preserve the tablet silhouette and reduce the risk of edge chipping, which is a practical consideration with opal. For ring applications we recommend a protective mount and periodic inspection to ensure the stone remains secure during wear. In pendant form the marquise shape emphasizes vertical lines and provides a refined, sophisticated focal point. For paired earrings we can source complementary opals or select matching partners from our inventory, creating balanced sets that showcase consistent color and intensity.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in presenting natural, untreated gemstones with clear grading information and provenance, this Australian White Opal is offered with full disclosure of its characteristics, including the fact that it has not been subject to enhancement. The combination of an eye clean clarity grade, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish makes this opal an attractive choice for collectors and designers who value natural beauty and reliable quality. Proper care will keep the opal looking its best, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, strong heat, and extreme drying conditions, clean gently with a soft cloth or mild soapy water, and prefer secure settings that protect the edges. If you would like assistance with setting options, custom designs, appraisal or certification recommendations, or additional photographs and viewing angles, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to help you select the ideal setting that complements the stone, bring out its full character, and ensure a piece you will enjoy for years to come.
