1.89 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

In the heart of Australia's ancient outback, where the land hums with stories as old as time, a hidden treasure emerges from beneath the rugged terrain. Here, amidst vast landscapes echoing with a timeless allure, the journey of our multi-color opal begins. Known as a Crystal or Jelly Opal, this gemstone's wondrous tale is a fine narrative of nature's patience and artistry. Birthed from a delicate interplay of silica and water over millions of years, it lay waiting within the Australian earth, absorbing the stories of landscapes and skies until it was ready to reveal the mesmerizing glow of its full character.

Each opal is as unique as the conditions that formed it, and this gemstone sparkles with an iridescent array of colors—an enchanting blend of spectral hues suspended within its translucent depths. It measures 16.10 mm in length, 10.20 mm in width, and merely 1.80 mm in depth, making it a splendid yet delicate wonder. As you hold this opal to the light, it captivates with a spectrum of colors, seemingly capturing the brilliance of a fleeting rainbow or the gentle luminescence of a sunset. The opal's multi-color play is a hallmark of its Crystal Opal designation, lending it a medium light color intensity that exudes soft elegance.

Beyond its visual beauty, this opal boasts a tablet cut that elevates its allure, a craftsmanship feat fine-tuned by expert artisans. The thin, flat cut maximizes the surface area for a mesmerizing display of color flickering within. The clarity grade, rated as very slightly included, assures that this gemstone possesses only the most minute imperfections when reviewed at eye level. An excellent polish enhances its gleam, making it a precious canvas where nature's artistry and human touch have collaborated.

Beyond aesthetics, opals are gemstones of enduring wearability, celebrated for their capacity to withstand the flow of daily life gracefully. Lalique, the famous jeweler, once marveled at opals, calling them "the most spiritual of all gems," largely due to their kaleidoscopic shades which evoke emotional imagery. Despite its brilliant yet delicate aurora, this opal’s natural durability means it integrates seamlessly and comfortably into daily jewelry pieces. This resilience comes not only from the quality of the gem itself but also from the mastery of The Natural Gemstone Company, which ensures that each gem is thoroughly vetted for longevity.
