1.57 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Imagine giving a gift that catches light and heart in equal measure, a translucent, multi color jewel that seems to whisper of sunrise over the Australian plains, a 1.57 carat fancy shape Crystal Jelly Opal that glows with an inner life. This unique stone measures 12.04 by 12.34 by 2.23 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut allows flashes of green and blue to dance across the surface as it moves. With a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, this opal offers a delicate clarity that feels intimate and rare. There has been no enhancement to this gem, making its natural play of color and purity a true testament to its origin in Australia. The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present this piece as a jewel that can create lasting memories, a token of love, a statement of joy that grows more personal with every glance.

When considering wear and care, it helps to know how this Crystal Jelly Opal compares on the Mohs hardness scale, it ranks around 5.5 to 6.5 which makes it softer than quartz which sits at 7, and much softer than sapphire and diamond which rank at 9 and 10 respectively. This means the opal is beautifully durable for everyday happiness if it is treated with gentle respect, protected from hard knocks, harsh chemicals, and extreme temperature changes. We recommend bezel or halo settings to help shield the stone, and removing it during heavy work or sports to preserve its surface and brilliant polish. At 1.57 carat, with medium color intensity and a mixed brilliant cut that amplifies its fire, this Crystal Jelly Opal from Australia becomes a wearable poem, a small treasure that delivers joy and stories, available through The Natural Gemstone Company, ready to become part of your most cherished moments.
