1.54 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Introducing one exceptional White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, an opaque multi color oval weighing 1.54 carat, with elegant dimensions of 10.75 x 8.86 x 2.54 millimeters. This gem has been carefully shaped into an oval tablet cut that showcases its internal color play across a broad surface, and it has been finished with an excellent polish for a smooth and reflective appearance. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the unaided eye with only minor inclusions visible under magnification. The color intensity is described as light, allowing delicate flashes of green, red, and blue to float across the soft white body tone. There has been no enhancement performed on this opal, and its origin is Australia, a locale renowned for producing high quality opals and appreciated by collectors and fine jewelry makers alike.

What sets this White Opal apart is its gentle yet lively play of color, the multi color flashes that shift with movement and light, creating a living surface that invites touch and contemplation. White Opals typically display a translucent to milky body color, and this gem carries that classic white base which acts as an ideal canvas for subtle spectral highlights. The tablet cut maximizes the visible surface and provides a low profile that sits comfortably in a variety of settings while still allowing light to interact with the structure of silica spheres that cause the diffraction responsible for the play of color. Because the stone is opaque to semi translucent in places, the light color intensity produces a soft and ethereal effect rather than bold color patches, making this opal particularly appealing for designs that favor refined elegance and understated iridescence.

From a practical perspective, the 10.75 by 8.86 millimeter proportions and the modest 2.54 millimeter depth make this opal versatile for a number of jewelry applications, including a graceful solitaire pendant, a vintage inspired ring, or a custom pair of earrings where matching weight and size are prioritized. The tablet cut lends itself well to bezel settings which can protect the edges and provide a secure mount while framing the stone with metal for added contrast. Prong settings can also be employed when a higher degree of light exposure is desired, though care should be taken to protect the girdle and ensure even pressure is applied to avoid stress on the stone. For metal choices, warm yellow gold will bring out the warmer orange and red flashes, while white metals such as platinum or white gold will emphasize the cooler greens and blues, allowing you to tailor the final appearance to the wearer. Because opal is relatively softer than many other gemstones, we recommend designs that provide protective settings for everyday wear if the piece is intended to be worn frequently.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in sourcing natural, untreated gemstones, and this Australian White Opal is offered with full disclosure of its characteristics, including the lack of enhancement and the eye level clarity grade. We advise clients to avoid exposure to extreme temperature changes, harsh chemicals, and prolonged immersion in water when possible, and to clean the stone gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and steam which may risk damage. For those considering this opal for an engagement ring or a piece intended for daily wear, a protective bezel or halo setting and periodic inspections by a qualified jeweler will help preserve the gem over time.
