11.83 Ct. Cabochon Fire Opal from Australia

This remarkable transparent 11.83 carat, oval shape, multi color opal presents a vibrant and fiery personality, it is a Fire Opal from Australia that combines intense orange and red body tone with flashes of green and yellow play of color, the gem measures 17.84 by 13.67 by 8.68 mm, cut as a smooth cabochon to maximize its internal fire and light return, clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level which gives the stone character without distracting from its brilliance, polish is excellent which enhances the surface luster and depth of color, no enhancement has been applied so this stone is completely natural and untreated, the overall presentation is both rare and commanding for its size and transparency.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend this opal for a signature ring or a pendant where the oval cabochon shape and strong color will be showcased to greatest effect, for settings I suggest a secure bezel to protect the domed surface or a low prong design that allows the light to interact with the internal flashes, because this is a natural Fire Opal with very slight inclusions avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat or sudden temperature change, clean gently with warm water and a soft brush and store separately to prevent scratches, this is a collector quality gem that appeals to connoisseurs seeking an unusually transparent and intensely colored Australian Fire Opal, contact us at The Natural Gemstone Company for certification details, provenance records, and bespoke setting options so we can help you bring this fiery beauty into a finished piece that reflects its natural charm and investment quality.
