2.05 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This translucent White Opal weighs 2.05 carats and presents in an elegant marquise outline with dimensions 15.42 by 7.11 by 3.31 millimeters, a cabochon cut that is ideal for maximizing play of color and surface luster. The stone displays a vivid multi color play of light with intense color intensity and an excellent polish that enhances scintillation across the domed surface. Clarity grade is eye clean evaluated at eye level, meaning that under normal viewing conditions the gem shows no visible inclusions that detract from the pattern and brightness, a quality that is particularly desirable for opal collectors and connoisseurs. Enhancement status is none, the piece is natural and untreated, and origin is Australia, a region long recognized for producing superior white opal material. The marquise cabochon shape concentrates color along the elongated axis, making this gem especially suitable for sophisticated ring designs or refined pendant settings where the internal fire can be showcased to full advantage.

From a technical and investment perspective this opal offers attributes that educated buyers value, color intensity and translucency being primary determinants of market desirability for white opal. The combination of a clean appearance at eye level and no enhancement reduces uncertainty about long term value and ensures the visual appeal is inherent to the material rather than the result of treatments. Australian provenance adds provenance value, as Australian fields are noted for consistently stable opal with predictable cutting results, and the cabochon polish and skilled shaping indicate careful lapidary work that preserves weight while maximizing optical properties. For practical use consider protective settings such as bezels or lower profile mounts to guard against impact, and avoid exposure to rapid temperature change or harsh chemicals to maintain brilliance. At The Natural Gemstone Company we catalogue each gem with transparent specifications to help you compare cut, clarity, color intensity, and origin, guiding selection for fine jewelry or collection purposes, and ensuring you acquire an opal that combines aesthetic beauty with documented quality.
