2.06 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

Introducing a luminous White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a beautiful translucent 2.06 carat oval gem that captures attention with subtle, shifting flashes of color, an elegant cabochon shape, and a smooth dome that invites close inspection. This opal measures 10.05 by 8.00 by 4.15 millimeters, a versatile size that sits comfortably in a wide range of jewelry designs, and it hails from Australia, a storied source of some of the world’s finest opals. The overall presence of this multi color opal is refined and calming, with a soft base and a delicate play of green, pink, and blue that peeks through the opaline body as the stone moves, creating interest without overwhelming a design. For collectors and designers who appreciate natural character and true origin, this specimen offers an authentic Australian expression of the White Opal family, ready to be set into a piece that showcases its translucency and gentle color flashes.

From a gemological perspective this opal displays excellent attributes that make it desirable for both aesthetic and practical reasons, the cabochon cut has been executed to produce a uniform dome and a pleasing symmetry, the polish is excellent which enhances the stone’s surface luster and allows the internal colors to play freely, the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level which means that any inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem’s visual appeal, the color intensity is very light which accentuates the gem’s ethereal, milky backdrop and lets the multicolored flashes appear soft and elegant, importantly there has been no enhancement, the opal is presented in natural condition without treatment, and its translucency adds depth while preserving durability for many types of wear.

When considering settings and design approaches for this 2.06 carat White Opal, think about frames that protect the stone while allowing light to reach the dome, bezel settings with a slight lift can cradle the cabochon and offer security for daily wear, open back pendants and halo rings with contrasting accent stones such as small diamonds or sapphires can intensify the opal’s color flashes by contrast, warm metals like yellow gold will lend a vintage warmth to the white base, while cool metals like white gold or platinum will emphasize the opal’s milky clarity and pastel play of color, because the stone is translucent and shows very light color intensity, controlling ambient light with a subtle matte or satin finish on the surrounding metal can also help the play of color to remain the focal point without competing reflections.
