1.70 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

In the diverse and often overwhelming market of gemstones, there are few creations of nature that can rival the sheer beauty and mystique of a high-quality opal. Among these, the multi-color opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company stands as a testament to luxury and refinement. This exquisite gem, weighing in at an impressive 1.70 carats, immediately captivates with its alluring play of colors, an attribute that underscores its unique standing among opals from around the world. Hailing from the prestigious gem-producing lands of Australia, this opal is not just another addition to your collection but a centerpiece commanding admiration.

What sets this opal apart is its eye-catching fancy shape, meticulously designed to amplify the stone's natural brilliance and individuality. The cut employed here is a tablet cut, a variation known not only for its elegance but also for its ability to enhance the opal's remarkable light reflection properties. When light enters this gemstone, it travels in such a way that each angle of the cut grasps and refracts the light into a vibrant palette of colors, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. In doing so, the cut intensifies the gem’s natural play-of-color, a phenomenon inherent to opals, elevating it to a status of unparalleled beauty. Unlike many other gemstones that are simply polished, this opal has been crafted with an excellent polish, reflecting every spectrum of light with uncompromising precision and maximum brightness.

Further enhancing its stature is the opal's clarity grade. Evaluated at eye level and deemed eye clean, this piece assures the highest quality available on the market today, free from inclusions and imperfections visible to the naked eye. Its transparency is unparalleled, a clear indicator of its premium nature, and something that is rarely seen with such striking clarity in gemstones of this size. Each facet of this stone invites the onlooker deeper into its core, revealing a depth of hue and luminescence that few can parallel. The medium color intensity presents a spectrum of colors that is rich yet inviting, providing versatility unmatched by ordinary gemstones.

Moreover, its classification as a Crystal or Jelly Opal provides it with an additional layer of allure. Known for their excellent transparency and light play, Crystal or Jelly Opals include those prized attributes that gemstone collectors and admirers seek for both aesthetic and investment purposes. This particular categorization ensures that one does not simply own a piece of stone but a slice of history and geology, a conversation piece that serves as a direct testament to Earth's wonders. The transparency inherent within Crystal Opals allows for not just a surface shine but a full-body illumination, saturating the pull of light through the stone with even more intensity and offering an ever-changing experience with every glance.

In comparing our opal with others, it becomes apparent that The Natural Gemstone Company's offering provides a distinct advantage across several parameters — in both aesthetic qualities and physical attributes. While other opals on the market might provide some play of color or adequate clarity, few celebrate and embrace the stunning interplay of hues as effectively as this particular jewel. The geometric precision imparted by the tablet cut, combined with expert polishing and brilliant color intensity, results in an opal that is second to none. For those seeking to invest in a gemstone that promises exceptional quality and distinctive attractiveness, The Natural Gemstone Company’s Crystal Opal is an ideal choice. It is an opulent nod to both individual elegance and natural beauty, offering true sophistication and charm in any collection or setting.
