1.68 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This listing presents one translucent White Opal, weighing 1.68 carat, in an oval shape, with dimensions 10.87 x 8.60 x 2.91 mm. The gem is cut as a cabochon, exhibiting a smooth domed surface and excellent polish. The piece displays a pleasing multi color play of color across a softly translucent white body, with visible flashes of green, blue, yellow, and faint violet when viewed under typical lighting conditions. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with these minor inclusions not affecting the overall visual impact or structural integrity of the stone. Color intensity is classified as medium light, providing a balanced backdrop that allows the internal fire to remain visible without overwhelming the stone. Enhancement is none, indicating the opal is natural and untreated, and origin is Australia, a region known for producing quality White Opal material.

The Natural Gemstone Company offers this opal as a ready to set gem, suitable for a range of jewelry applications including rings, pendants, or bespoke settings where the cabochon form and moderate dimensions will sit comfortably. The oval outline and fairly shallow depth allow for secure mounting while maximizing face up color, and the 1.68 carat weight provides a substantial presence without excessive size. As a White Opal, this gem benefits from the subtle white body tone which enhances the visibility of its multicolored flashes in both diffuse and directional light. For care, avoid prolonged exposure to strong heat, harsh chemicals, or ultrasonic cleaning, and store the gem separately to prevent abrasion from harder stones. All descriptive attributes have been assessed by our gemology team, and the piece is offered with transparency regarding its condition and origin.
