This exquisite gemstone, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, is a transparent 1.78 carat oval shape orange opal, boasting dimensions of 8.66 x 7.05 x 5.32 mm. Intricately crafted with unparalleled precision, this opal features a cabochon cut, which is renowned for its smooth curved surface that emphasizes the vibrant color and inherent beauty of the stone. It possesses a clarity grade classified as eye clean, meaning there are no inclusions visible to the naked eye at a standard viewing level. This clarity allows it to radiate a luxuriant and uninterrupted glow, showcasing its vivid color intensity that captivates the observer. The opal's color, classified under the coveted Fire/Fire Jelly Opal category, exhibits a vivid intensity that is both rare and breathtaking, characterized by its dynamic play of radiant orange hues.
The origins of this luxurious gemstone trace back to Mexico, a region renowned for producing opals of exceptional quality. The Mexican opal's notable characteristic is its dazzling interplay of light and color, known as opalescence, which is particularly prized in the Fire Opal category. This specific orange opal stands out due to its masterful craftsmanship, showcasing an excellent polish that enhances its surface luster, allowing for optimal light reflection and a stunning performance in various lighting conditions. The cabochon cut not only highlights the opal’s color aesthetics but also adds a tactile elegance that is both pleasing to hold and stunning to behold.
One of the most intriguing aspects of this opal is its inclusions. Unlike many gemstones where inclusions are often considered imperfections, in opals, they serve as unique identifiers that contribute to the stone's individuality and character. These inclusions, which can include subtle color zoning or pattern variations unique to each gemstone, add depth and a story to the piece, enhancing its allure for discerning collectors and gemstone connoisseurs. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we meticulously select each opal for its exceptional qualities and ensure that its natural character is perfectly preserved. Our commitment to quality and authenticity ensures that our gemstones provide both spectacular aesthetic appeal and lasting value for those who appreciate the intricate details and craftsmanship invested in each unique piece.
