1.97 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Ethiopia

This listing presents a beautiful semi transparent Crystal Jelly Opal weighing 1.97 carats, expertly cut into a classic oval cabochon shape, with measurements of 9.65 by 8.80 by 4.75 millimeters. This multi color opal shows a pleasing medium intense color intensity, with flashes of blue, green and soft red that come alive as the stone is moved under light. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves the gem like clarity and adds character without compromising its visual appeal. The polish is excellent, providing a smooth lustrous surface that enhances the play of color typical of high quality jelly opals. Origin is Ethiopia, and the stone has no enhancement, making it a natural example of crystal opal beauty, ideal for collectors and designers who appreciate authentic, untreated gemstones.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I recommend this opal for a variety of jewelry settings, including a classic solitaire ring, a low profile pendant, or elegant stud earrings. The semi transparent body tone and cabochon cut allow light to penetrate and illuminate the internal color play, so settings that allow light from multiple angles will maximize its visual impact. Given its 1.97 carat weight and comfortable dimensions, it balances presence and wearability, fitting well into both everyday pieces and statement designs. Care is straightforward, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme temperature changes, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and store separately to protect the excellent polish. This Crystal Jelly Opal from Ethiopia offers natural, untreated color, and its very slightly included clarity means you receive a lively, characterful gem with excellent surface finish. If you would like additional angles, advice on settings, or a certificate for this specific stone, I am happy to assist, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the authenticity and quality of each gem we offer.
