This exceptional Crystal or Jelly Opal is a rare and beautiful choice for collectors and fine jewelry designers, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company. At 15.38 carats this pear shaped multi color opal displays an enticing play of color that shifts from warm fire reds and orange flashes to lively greens and subtle flashes of yellow as it moves under light. The cabochon cut enhances the depth and clarity of the internal color play, giving the stone a luminous, almost liquid, appearance that makes it a standout center stone for a pendant or a bespoke ring. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish mean the surface reflects light cleanly, while the very slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, ensures this opal retains strong visual appeal without obvious internal distractions.
Measured at 20.92 by 16.46 by 7.05 millimeters, this gemstone offers substantial presence and generous proportions for a 15.38 carat opal. Origin Ethiopia, the piece is natural with no enhancement, and its unheated and untreated status will be appreciated by purists and collectors who value authenticity. The combination of crystal like transparency and the jewel like jelly quality gives this stone an intriguing dual character, making it versatile for different mounting styles. I recommend settings that allow light to enter from multiple angles, such as open backed bezels or halo designs, to maximize the play of color and create a dynamic impression on the wrist or at the neckline. As with all opals, careful mounting and protective metalwork will preserve its surface and brilliance for years to come.
As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company I can assist with certification details, custom setting ideas, and secure shipping options to ensure this opal arrives in pristine condition. If you would like additional images under different lighting, or a video to see the color play in motion, I will gladly provide them. This 15.38 carat pear shape Crystal or Jelly Opal is a rare find, unenhanced and full of life, and it makes a memorable choice for anyone seeking a distinctive and luminous gemstone.
