The exquisite 1.60 carat opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company presents an exceptional example of fine jewelry craft, showcasing a remarkable blend of aesthetics and technical precision. Originating from Australia, this opal falls under the prized category of Black Opals, known for their unique play-of-color against dark backgrounds. The stone's dimensions of 10.25 x 6.34 x 3.84 mm highlight its delicate proportions, subtly designed to enhance its visual impact with every glance. The pillowed shape, accentuated by an expert oval cut, maximizes the effect of light refraction, turning every movement into a kaleidoscopic dance of hues, from the fiery reds and oranges to calming blues and vivid greens.
Crafted with a tablet cut, this opal offers an innovative approach that intensifies color distribution across its surface, making the chromatic effect not only rich but vivid. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, assures that mere minor inclusions are present, an attribute that is not only rare but adds to the opal's allure by providing small windows into its geological history. Each minor inclusion in this opal is carefully evaluated and preserved to maintain the authenticity and narrative of the gemstone without compromising its external perspicuity. Moreover, the opal is given an intense color grade, an emblematic trait that implies an amplified color play distinctive of high-caliber opals.
The artistry bestowed upon this opal is further elevated by the superb craftsmanship exemplified in its excellent polish. The process involves a meticulous and disciplined routine of geological and synthetic operations that internally stabilizes the opal, resulting in a high timbre of luster on its surface. This intensive polishing technique employed by The Natural Gemstone Company ensures that every facet of the opal is pristine, therefore providing a mirror-like sheen that augments the light performance and the optical quality. With the intricate details applied to this Black Opal, it is evident that this isn’t just a gemstone, but a masterpiece carved uniquely by nature and meticulously honed by human hands, making it a compelling choice for those who can discern luxury in nuances.
