1.50 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Introducing a truly enchanting natural treasure from The Natural Gemstone Company, a semi transparent Crystal Jelly Opal that captures attention with a soft cosmopolitan glow and lively internal flashes of color. This freeform shaped opal weighs 1.50 carat and measures 9.76 x 13.75 x 1.93 mm, a proportion that reads elegant and wearable while offering a generous face up area for display. The gem is multi color with a medium intense play of color that reveals pastel to vivid greens, pinks, and subtle blues as the stone moves under light. Because it is a Crystal Jelly Opal, light penetrates the near transparent body, allowing the internal color patches and pinfire flashes to appear suspended within the stone, producing a depth and three dimensionality that is very appealing in cabochon and sculptural settings. The freeform outline gives a contemporary organic silhouette that suits modern bespoke designs, allowing jewelers and collectors to emphasize the opal s best color zones with careful orientation in the mounting.

From a gemological standpoint this opal presents excellent attributes for both aesthetic appeal and practical use, clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall visual performance when viewed in normal conditions. The cut is not applicable, as this is a freeform polished gem, and the polish is rated excellent, giving crisp clean reflections that enhance the stone s brightness and the contrast of its play of color. Color intensity is medium intense, providing a strong and attractive display without overwhelming translucency, which keeps the gem versatile for many metal colors and design concepts. There has been no enhancement, the stone is natural and untreated, and it is of Australian origin, a provenance that is widely respected among opal enthusiasts for quality and stable color play. These objective details mean you receive a documented and describable gem that will sit confidently in your design notes or certification documentation.

When considering settings and design, the freeform nature and semi transparent Crystal Jelly Opal character open many creative possibilities that highlight the stone s inner life. For an intimate and protective presentation, a low bezel setting will cradle the opal and showcase the surface while protecting the thin 1.93 mm profile from edge impacts, and a thin bezel can be milled to follow the gentle triangle like outline for a handcrafted artisanal look. If you prefer to maximize light movement, an open gallery or a partial bezel will allow more light to enter from the sides and increase the perception of depth and play of color. Metals such as warm 14 karat or 18 karat yellow gold will bring forward the warmer pink and red flashes, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the cooler green and blue tones. For everyday wear consider reinforcing the setting at the corners and choosing softer daily activity profiles, as opal is relatively delicate compared to harder gemstones. Care is simple, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, avoid ultrasonic cleaners and steam, and avoid sudden temperature shocks or harsh chemicals that could damage the opal s body.
