1.75 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Imagine holding an intimate slice of the Australian outback, a gemstone that seems to breathe with color and memory, a beautiful opaque oval multi color opal weighing 1.75 carat, a gem that invites admiration and gentle conversation. This Crystal Jelly Opal measures twelve point zero two by eight point twenty one by three point zero five millimeters, its proportions chosen to present a generous face for color and depth. The cabochon cut emphasizes a smooth domed surface that softens and amplifies every flicker of red, green, blue and violet dancing beneath the surface. With a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the internal character acts like a signature rather than an imperfection, adding personality without interrupting the gemscape. Its color intensity is intense, and its polish is excellent, so every movement reveals a new story of light and warmth. There are no enhancements, and the gem is sourced from Australia, a land that has given the world some of the most emotionally resonant opals. At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this opal as a soul warming choice for a gift, a celebration, or a quiet token of self love that will be treasured for years to come.

The cabochon shape is the heart of how this opal expresses itself, because unlike faceting that relies on angles to fracture light, the cabochon invites light to enter, travel, and return as living color. The dome acts as a gentle lens, drawing ambient light inward so it meets the microscopic silica spheres that create the opal play of color, the phenomenon that gives this stone its living rainbow. In a Crystal Jelly Opal the body is part way between transparent and translucent, and that clarity allows light to penetrate deeply, leading to internal diffraction and layered reflections that seem to float under the surface. The gentle convex curve of the cabochon collects light from many directions, softening hard shadows and producing broader flashes of color that change with movement and mood. Because this particular piece is very slightly included at eye level, the inclusions sit quietly beneath the surface, they do not disrupt the light path but instead can provide contrast points that make the fiery flashes appear even more vivid. The excellent polish is essential, because a perfectly finished dome increases specular reflection on the surface while revealing the internal fire beneath, making every glance a small revelation. The balance of the opal body thickness at three point zero five millimeters is ideal for maintaining brightness without sacrificing the gemscape, so the reds remain warm and the blues and greens shimmer with clarity, giving you an experience of color that is at once bold and gentle.
