1.50 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

When you are searching for a gemstone that ends your quest for beauty, rarity, and wearable art, this opal answers that call. Whether your goal is an unforgettable engagement ring that whispers instead of shouts, a show stopping pendant for a special anniversary, or a rare example to add to a carefully curated collection, this stone gives you confidence and delight. I understand that you want a gem that combines visual impact, integrity, and the freedom to design without compromise. This semi transparent Crystal or Jelly Opal from Australia delivers an elegant balance of soft translucence and lively play of color, and it is presented by The Natural Gemstone Company with full transparency about its characteristics, so you can plan your setting and design with certainty.

This opal is a freeform shape, weighing 1.50 carat, with dimensions of 9.76 by 13.75 by 1.93 mm. The cut is not applicable, as the stone is shaped to preserve its natural beauty and to maximize its internal color play. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye the stone reads as clean and luminous, while slight internal features remain a mark of authenticity rather than a detractor from its appearance. The color intensity is medium and the multi color flashes shift across pastel and more vivid tones as the light moves, creating a whispering opalescence that looks like color held within glass. The surface polish is excellent, and the finish presents a smooth, satiny face that enhances light return and color flash. There has been no enhancement, so you are receiving this gem in its natural state, sourced from Australia and ready to be enjoyed or set into a bespoke piece.

From a design and wearing perspective this Crystal or Jelly Opal is exceptionally versatile. Its semi transparent body allows for inner color to glow, so a setting that lets light reach the stone from multiple angles will maximize that inner fire. For rings I recommend a secure bezel or low profile setting that protects the edges while allowing the face to show freely. For pendants and earrings an open backed or halo supported design will let the opal breathe and will accentuate its delicate translucence. The medium color intensity means this stone will pair beautifully with cool metals such as white gold or platinum to emphasize the cooler flashes, as well as with warm gold to bring out any peach or pink tones. As a natural opal it benefits from gentle care, so avoid extreme heat, harsh chemicals, and heavy knocks, and store it separately to protect the excellent polish. For collectors who value provenance and condition, the lack of enhancement and Australian origin will be meaningful, and the very slightly included clarity grade is a realistic indicator of a genuine opal that has been thoughtfully conserved and finished by expert cutters.
