1.74 Ct. Cabochon Boulder Opal from Australia

Imagine holding a tiny universe captured in a jewel, a piece so alive with color that it seems to breathe with the rhythm of your heartbeat. This is one beautiful opaque 1.74 carat oval shape multi color opal, a Boulder Opal from Australia, fashioned as a cabochon cut with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. Its dimensions are 11.19 x 5.95 x 3.12 mm, and its surface shimmers with deep blues and flashes of green that shift like the music of light. Presented as a doublet, this opal speaks of patience and careful craftsmanship, a gem that has been understood and respected by hands that know how to bring out its soul. When you place it in a setting, it does more than decorate, it becomes a memory in waiting, a small, radiant promise meant to be cherished.

Picture the world as it was millions of years ago, long before names and tomorrows, when rain and sun and slow moving rivers carved the land into new expressions of earth and stone. In those patient aeons, silica rich waters seeped into the cracks of ancient ironstone, laying down layer upon layer of tiny spheres that would one day play with light. Over time, pressure and gentle shifts set those spheres into patterns, and when light met those patterns, the opal was born. For a Boulder Opal such as this, the precious color plays on a natural ironstone backing, giving the gem depth and character, a dark canvas that makes every flash more dramatic. The story of this gem is a story of slow miracles, a geological lullaby that took millions of years to compose, and now sings in a single, glowing oval. To wear it is to wear a fragment of deep time, a living relic of the earth that will carry the hush of ancient landscapes into every modern hour.

Beyond its origin, this opal offers an intimate and emotional value that feels almost human. As a piece from The Natural Gemstone Company, it arrives ready to become part of your most treasured moments. Envision giving this opal to someone you love, seeing their face catch the light as the blue and green dances across the cabochon, a private sunrise contained in a jewel.

The cabochon cut is smooth against the skin, comfortable for daily wear, and ideal for jewelry designs that sit close to the heart. Its dimensions make it perfectly suited for a refined ring, a pendant that rests against the chest, or a custom piece that celebrates a special anniversary.
