The 1.99 carat oval-shaped orange opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company embodies this rich legacy with its mesmerizing beauty and timeless elegance. Much like the illustrious sapphires cherished by ancient royalty or the coveted emeralds from the famed mines of Colombia, our orange opal is a triumph of nature's artistry and a treasure for those who appreciate history and tradition.

This exquisite opal, with dimensions of 9.91 x 7.59 x 5.02 mm, presents itself with a cabochon cut, reminiscent of the artistry employed by skilled craftsmen of ancient civilizations who sought to accentuate the stones' natural glow. Such a cut is a nod to history, allowing the gemstone to display its vibrant colors uninterrupted and capturing the imagination like the famed opals of antiquity. Its vivid color intensity commands attention, evoking the fiery hues of the sunset drawn deep from the heart of the earth, and it has been meticulously polished to perfection, ensuring that its visual appeal is as refined as any gemstone from the storied past.

The clarity grade of this eye-clean opal reflects its purity, reminiscent of gemstones that have graced royal crowns and adorned noble families throughout history. Its origin in Mexico adds another layer to its historic significance. Mexico, rich in opal-producing history, harks back to the days when Aztec and Mayan cultures revered the gem as divine.
