The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present a stunning 14.53 carat fancy shape multi-color opal that promises to captivate even the most discerning gemstone enthusiasts. This elegant specimen, measuring 26.60 x 14.70 x 5.10 mm, is a magnificent example of a Boulder Opal from Australia, a region renowned for producing some of the world's most exquisite opals. With its tablet cut and remarkable multi-color display, this opal showcases a distinct combination of hues that are seldom found in more common gemstones, setting it apart as a truly unique piece.
When compared to traditional gemstones like diamonds, sapphires, or emeralds, this Boulder Opal's appeal lies in its ability to present a vivid color intensity that dances across the opal’s surface. The play of color, a signature characteristic of opals, combines flashes of bright blues, radiant greens, fiery reds, and warm oranges, making it a dynamic visual spectacle. This unique optical phenomenon, known as "opalescence," is complemented by the gem's excellent polish, which ensures that each glint of light is reflected perfectly, enhancing its shimmering allure.
The clarity grade of this opal is rated as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to its superior quality. While slight inclusions are inherent in opals and contribute to their natural charm, our gemologists have evaluated this piece to maintain an overall clarity that allows its spectral colors to shine unabated. This attention to detail not only influences the gem’s brilliance but also assures customers of the opal’s intrinsic value and enduring beauty, characteristics that discerning collectors appreciate.
In the world of gemstones, origin plays a vital role in determining a stone’s allure and investment potential. This particular Boulder Opal, hailing from Australia—a place synonymous with high-quality opals—carries with it a heritage of excellence. Australian Boulder Opals are sought after for their stability and durability, qualities which make them a practical yet precious choice for various settings, whether it is set as a centerpiece in fine jewelry or an exclusive collection highlight. The history and prestige associated with Australian opals add another layer of significance, elevating the gemstone's desirability for those looking beyond mere aesthetics.
