1.54 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

Presenting a beautiful natural White Opal, a multi color pear shape gemstone weighing 1.54 carat, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem measures 12.10 x 7.63 x 2.90 mm and is fashioned into an elegant pear silhouette that flatters both solitaire and accent settings. The stone is opaque, with a classic cabochon cut that enhances its internal play of color and gives a soft, luminous surface. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the tiny natural features do not detract from the overall visual appeal or structural integrity. Color intensity is described as medium, giving a refined balance between subtlety and vibrancy, while the polish is excellent, producing a smooth, reflective face that showcases flashes of color as the gem moves. Sourced from Australia, this opal has no enhancement, guaranteeing that the colors and body tone are entirely natural, direct from a renowned origin for opals.

The visual character of this White Opal is what truly captivates. Against a delicate white body tone, flashes and patches of green and pink emerge, with occasional hints of blue and soft orange, creating a multi color display that shifts with light and angle. The cabochon dome allows these colors to breath, producing depth and a three dimensional effect that flat faceting cannot replicate. Because the color intensity is medium, the play of color reads as elegant and wearable for daily jewelry, while still offering moments of lively brilliance under brighter illumination. The pear shape is especially flattering for pendants, giving a graceful drop that complements the neckline, and for dangle earrings where movement reveals the opal at many angles. This stone will also work beautifully as a center for a delicate ring, where its proportions of 12.10 x 7.63 x 2.90 mm make it comfortable to set and wear. The surface polish is excellent, which enhances both the tactile feel and the optical character, allowing the subtle inclusions to be more or less invisible to the naked eye in most lighting.

From a gemological perspective this opal offers trustworthy quality and honest description. The classification as White Opal refers to its light body tone that supports a spectrum of play of color, and this specimen exemplifies that type with soft, pleasing body color and multicolored flashes. The clarity note of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that any natural inclusions are minimal and are part of the stone story, commonly accepted in opal material, and they do not compromise durability. Opal typically rates about five and a half to six and a half on the Mohs hardness scale, so while it is suitable for many types of jewelry, proper care is important to preserve its polish and brightness. The gem has not been treated or enhanced, which is increasingly rare and desirable in the marketplace, and its Australian origin adds provenance that many collectors and designers value. Every step from sourcing to description is handled by trained specialists at The Natural Gemstone Company to ensure accuracy and to provide confidence in this purchase.

For care and setting recommendations, consider protective settings that shelter the edges and back of the opal while allowing light to interact with the face. Bezel settings and partially bezel wrapped designs work very well for cabochon opals, and paired prong and bezel combinations can add security while keeping the stone visually open. Avoid exposure to harsh household chemicals, extreme temperature changes, and abrasive cleaners, and clean the opal with mild soap, warm water, and a soft cloth or brush. Ultrasonic cleaners and steam cleaning should be avoided for opal, due to its tendency to contain water within the structure and to micro fracturing under sudden stress. Stored separately from harder gemstones, this opal will retain its excellent polish and continue to display its soft yet lively play of color for generations. If you would like this gemstone set into a custom design, or you require additional photographs, lighting views, or mounting recommendations, The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist with personalized service, secure shipping, and professional guidance to ensure this unique White Opal finds its ideal expression in your collection.
