1.54 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

Here is a striking White Opal from Australia that I am excited to present to you on behalf of The Natural Gemstone Company, this beautiful specimen is an opaque multi color opal weighing 1.54 carats, with an elegant oval shape and exact dimensions of 10.10 by 7.92 by 3.02 millimeters, the gem has been expertly fashioned into a smooth cabochon cut, which highlights its gentle domed surface and maximizes the play of color, clarity is graded eye clean evaluated at eye level, color intensity is medium, polish is excellent, and the stone has undergone heat treatment as an enhancement, the overall effect is a soft snow white body tone lit from within by flashes of red, green and blue that appear as you move the stone against the light.

This White Opal displays a delicate and inviting play of color that is characteristic of quality Australian material, the multi color patches are finely dispersed across the surface and they shift subtly with movement, the medium color intensity gives the gem versatility for many jewelry applications because it reads wonderfully against both warm and cool metals while retaining a serene and wearable presence, being eye clean means that under normal viewing conditions this opal presents a clean face without noticeable inclusions, the cabochon cut is ideal for opal because it preserves the stone and lends a luminous glow, for a collector or designer who appreciates stones that offer both inner fire and wearable size this opal makes an excellent choice.

When considering how to set this opal I recommend designs that protect the domed profile and showcase the soft white body color, bezel settings in 14 or 18 karat yellow gold will warm up the red and orange flashes, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the cooler blue and green play of color, the 10.10 by 7.92 millimeter oval is a classic size for a statement ring or a refined pendant and will sit comfortably as a center stone, because the gem is cabochon cut it has additional resistance to chipping compared to faceted stones but gentle care is still important, avoid exposing the opal to sudden temperature changes, household chemicals, or prolonged soaking, clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap if needed, the heat treatment applied to this stone is a standard enhancement used to stabilize and enhance body color, and it does not diminish the natural beauty or origin of this Australian opal.
