1.56 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

This translucent 1.56 carat pear shape multi color opal from Australia is a stunning Crystal Jelly Opal, ideal for collectors and bespoke jewelry projects, measuring 12.10 x 7.89 x 2.94 mm with a classic cabochon cut that maximizes its internal play of color. The gem displays intense color intensity and an excellent polish, producing lively flashes of green and blue with warmer flashes of orange and pink that shift beautifully as it moves under light, the translucency allowing depth and a soft inner glow that gives the stone a jewel like presence. The clarity is graded included at eye level, which is common in natural opals and contributes to the organic character of the gem without compromising its visual appeal, and there has been no enhancement to this opal, so you are purchasing a completely natural, untreated stone. The pear shape is thoughtfully proportioned for drop pendants or asymmetric ring designs, and the cabochon finish preserves the surface luster while showcasing the color patches and fire that make Crystal Jelly Opals so prized.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we carefully select opals that combine aesthetic impact with reliable gemstone information, and this piece exemplifies that commitment, its Australian origin signaling the classic sources of fine opal material. This opal suits a variety of settings, it sits elegantly in a bezel for protection, or it can be prong set with a thoughtful design to show off the light play, and its size and shape make it versatile for both statement pendants and refined rings. When considering care, avoid exposure to harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, store it separately to prevent abrasion, and clean gently with a soft damp cloth to maintain the polish and color vibrancy. If you would like, we can advise on mounting options to protect the thinner edge at the tip of the pear, and we are happy to provide additional photos or video to help you evaluate the color play under different lighting.
