1.89 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Throughout history, opals have captivated civilizations with their enchanting play of color, making them one of the most treasured gemstones known to humankind. Our exquisite translucent 1.89-carat oval-shaped multi-color opal, sourced from the rich mines of Australia, is a timeless testament to this legacy. The opal’s origins can be traced back to the country that still boasts the largest and most established deposits in the world—Australia, a land famed for producing some of the most vibrant and magnificent opals known today. The geological processes that formed this gem started millions of years ago and have resulted in a work of art crafted by nature herself.

This particular opal, with its carefully measured dimensions of 16.10 x 10.20 x 1.80 mm, features a tablet cut, enhancing its play of color and providing a durable yet elegant display. The clarity grade of our opal, which is very slightly included, ensures that the stone possesses only the slightest imperfections, visible only upon the closest examination under ideal conditions. This subtlety only adds to the opal’s character, as each whisper of inclusion tells its origin story from the depths of the Australian outback. Its medium-light color intensity offers a delightful contrast that balances every spectral hue dancing across its surface, changing with every tilt and turn. The opal’s excellent polish provides a perfect finish, highlighting its vibrant color flashes with a glass-like sheen, a visual assurance of expert crafting.

Providing a link between the past and present, this opal stands as a bridge connecting us with ancient civilizations that treasured these stones, including the Romans, who considered them a symbol of love, and the Bedouins, who believed opals held lightning within them, and fell from the sky during thunderstorms. The Ethiopian legend regarded opals as "treasures of the gods delivered to the rarefied mortals." In this nuanced context, gifting such a gemstone through The Natural Gemstone Company transcends a mere gesture, transforming it into a powerful symbol of enduring value and affection.
