1.84 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Introducing a truly exceptional piece from The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautiful translucent White Opal weighing 1.84 carat, presented in a classic round shape with precise dimensions of 10.16 x 10.14 x 2.97 mm. This opal features a tablet cut that enhances its surface area and showcases the gem solitaires play of color with impressive breadth. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, offering a clean visual field that lets the lively color patterns command attention. The polish is excellent, creating a smooth and reflective surface that amplifies brightness and contrast. This gem originates from Australia, a place synonymous with high quality opal deposits, and it comes with no enhancement, preserving the natural character and value that discerning collectors and designers appreciate.

When you study this White Opal closely you will notice an intense color intensity that produces broad flashes and pinfire of multiple hues across the stone. The palette includes vivid reds and oranges, vibrant greens, and cool flashes of blue and violet, all set against a translucent white to milky body that allows light to penetrate and play from within. The tablet cut contributes to a slightly domed profile with a broad face that makes the multicolor patterns more accessible to the eye, so the color show is active even at shallow viewing angles. Because the clarity grade is eye clean, the colors appear uninterrupted and pure, which is especially important in opals where inclusions or cloudiness can dampen the play of color. The overall effect is a lively and wearable gem, ideal for a focal piece in bespoke jewelry.

From a practical perspective this opal is well suited for a variety of settings and styles, depending on your personal taste and the intended daily wear. Its round tablet cut lends itself to bezel settings that protect the edges and secure the stone for everyday use, while also enhancing the opal body with a classic, modern look. A closed back mount can intensify the colors for a more dramatic appearance, though many clients prefer a well crafted open setting to allow light to flow through and preserve the stone natural translucence. At 1.84 carat and with the dimensions provided this opal will make a striking center stone for a pendant, ring, or a custom pair of earrings, and its moderate thickness of 2.97 mm supports secure mounting without compromising the play of color. The fact that this gem has no enhancement and comes from Australia adds authenticity and provenance, factors that contribute significantly to long term desirability and market value.

Caring for this White Opal is straightforward if you follow a few simple guidelines that will preserve its beauty for years to come. Avoid prolonged exposure to strong heat or rapid temperature change, and protect the stone from hard knocks and abrasive contact by choosing secure bezels or protective settings. Clean gently with warm water and mild soap, using a soft cloth or brush and avoid ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals that can damage the delicate structure of the opal. When stored keep the gem separate from harder stones to prevent surface scratching, and consider a small padded compartment within your jewelry box.
