11.32 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This is a beautiful, naturally formed White Opal from Australia offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, an opaque pear shape weighing 11.32 carats, measuring 25.50 x 20.80 x 3.60 mm, cut en cabochon to maximize its play of color, with medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish, untreated, with no enhancement. The multi color flashes within the stone include soft reds, greens and blues that emerge as the gem is turned, and the pear silhouette is ideal for pendants and statement rings, sitting comfortably in a range of settings thanks to its balanced dimensions and stable cabochon dome. Compared to many commercially available opals, this specimen stands out for its natural origin and integrity, where the absence of filling or dyeing preserves the full value and long term beauty of the material, making it a stronger investment and a more authentic choice for collectors and designers who value unaltered gemstones.

What truly distinguishes this opal are the internal features that some sellers might call imperfections, and which we present as unique inclusions that serve as identifiers and character marks. Fine micro veils, tiny pinpoints and subtle clouding within the stone create a map that is unique to this specimen, enhancing its individuality in a way that uniform or assembled opals cannot replicate. In the current marketplace many lower cost options are doublets or triplets, or they undergo treatments that produce an overly even appearance that can look artificial and reduce long term value, while synthetic alternatives often lack the organic depth and idiosyncratic patterns found here. The inclusions in this White Opal are not structural flaws, they are signatures of formation, evidence of the gem’s natural history in Australian sedimentary deposits, and they interact with light to create the soft, shifting color that collectors prize. For buyers seeking a superior, honest gemstone in quality and provenance, this pear shaped 11.32 carat Australian White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a rare combination of size, natural multi color play, fine polish and unenhanced authenticity, a piece that wears beautifully and holds its distinctiveness over time.
