1.95 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I am delighted to introduce a finely made White Opal that showcases the timeless beauty and subtle power of natural opal, this stone is a celebration of Australian origin and natural play of color, carefully fashioned to reveal its best attributes. From the moment you look at it, the opal invites a quiet admiration, the translucent body allowing soft light to penetrate and illuminate flashes of color from within, the overall effect is elegant and refined, perfect for a collector who appreciates natural gemstones and for a designer seeking a versatile centerpiece. At The Natural Gemstone Company we prioritize transparency and education, and I will detail the features of this opal so you can make an informed and confident choice.

This White Opal weighs 1.95 carats, with precise dimensions of 10.97 x 8.70 x 3.29 mm, it is an oval shape that has been cut as a cabochon to emphasize the internal play of color, the cabochon cut offers a smooth domed surface that showcases iridescent patches and flashes as the stone is moved under light. The gem is translucent, allowing a delicate depth that enhances the colors without appearing too dark or opaque, the clarity grade is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which means you will not see distracting inclusions with the unaided eye. Color intensity is described as medium light, and yet the stone displays a pleasing multi color palette, with greens, pinks, and subtle hints of orange and blue visible depending on angle and lighting. The polish on this example is excellent, the smooth luster contributes to a comfortable wear and a refined look, there is no enhancement, this is a natural, untreated opal, and the origin is Australia, a country renowned for producing some of the finest opals in the world.

Visually this White Opal offers a soft white body tone that acts as a luminous canvas for its play of color, you can expect lively speckles and broad flashes that move and shift as the gem is tilted, the dominant tones are cool greens and warm pinks that occasionally mingle to create peachy or coral hints, the overall pattern is pleasingly dispersed rather than overly concentrated, which lends a subtle all over sparkle that reads as multi color without being garish. The cabochon height provides a pleasing dome that magnifies the internal pattern, making this stone ideal for a classic solitaire pendant, a delicate ring setting, or a statement pair of earrings, when set in warm metals such as yellow gold the warmer flashes gain presence, while white gold or platinum can emphasize the cooler greens and the stone body, bezel settings offer protection for the opal edges and highlight the smooth domed face, while a well designed prong setting can maximize light interaction and allow more viewing angles.

Caring for a natural White Opal is straightforward with gentle handling and thoughtful storage, avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes, clean with a soft cloth and mild soap and water, do not use ultrasonic cleaners or steam, because opal is a hydrated mineraloid it benefits from being kept away from prolonged exposure to very dry heat, owning an untreated Australian opal adds both aesthetic and collector value, the fact that this gem is natural and unenhanced speaks to its authenticity and long term appeal.
