Product description

Introducing one of the most exquisite treasures from the world of gemstones, the opal in discussion is a stunning piece that exemplifies both beauty and durability. This opaque 15.38 carat pear-shaped opal measures an impressive 20.92 x 16.46 x 7.05 mm. Its captivating multi-color display is highlighted through a finely executed cabochon cut. The clarity grade is evaluated at very slightly included, indicating minimal imperfections visible at eye level. This trait further enhances its appeal, as it beautifully captures and reflects ambient light. With a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, this opal promises to add a breathtaking charm to any jewelry piece it adorns. Originating from the renowned opal mines of Ethiopia, this gemstone stands as a testament to stellar natural beauty and exceptional craftsmanship.

Gemstone enthusiasts and collectors understand the significance of an opal’s origin. Ethiopian opals are known for their striking play-of-color, which sets them apart in the market. This gem belongs to the Crystal/Jelly Opal variety, known for its translucent properties and the spectacular interplay of colors within. Under different lighting conditions, this opal reveals a myriad of hues including greens, blues, and reds that dance across its surface. This phenomenon is a result of the diffraction of light, making each moment gazing upon it a unique experience. The expertise of The Natural Gemstone Company ensures that this opal is of the highest quality, thoroughly inspected and polished to meet any discerning gem connoisseur’s expectations.

Durability is a paramount consideration for any gemstone intended for daily wear. Opals, particularly this one, possess qualities that make them surprisingly resilient despite their delicate appearance. With a Mohs hardness rating of around 5.5 to 6.5, opals are suitable for daily jewelry pieces such as rings, pendants, or earrings, provided they are treated with a bit of care. The expert polishing performed by The Natural Gemstone Company significantly reduces the risk of scratches and marring, thereby enhancing the stone’s lifespan. Additionally, cabochon cuts, like the one presented in this opal, further protect against impact due to their rounded shape, making them less prone to chipping.

The rarity and allure of Ethiopian opals not only contribute to their unmatched aesthetic appeal but also their esteemed status among collectors and luxury jewelry designers. The remarkable clarity and intense coloration allow the opal to be a centerpiece in standout creations. To an educated buyer, this opal offers both investment value and wearable elegance, allowing for remarkable personalization of jewelry settings. This distinct gemstone exemplifies a balance between natural wonder and skilled craftsmanship, resulting in a product that conveys both prestige and elegance.

The Natural Gemstone Company has built its reputation on providing only the finest quality gemstones, and this opal is no exception. Delivering factual, informative insights into the gemstone grading process is key to instilling confidence in our customers. This opal’s slight inclusions are meticulously evaluated to ensure they do not detract from the stone’s natural beauty. Our commitment to transparency and integrity reassures customers of the opal’s true value. This stunning Ethiopian opal, with its perfect blend of vibrant colors and optimized durability, represents more than just a jewelry component. It is a celebrated and rare piece of the natural world.
