2.12 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

One beautiful translucent 2.12 carat marquise shape multi color White Opal is offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, presented in a graceful marquise outline that measures approximately 16.17 by 7.64 by 2.97 mm. This gem is fashioned as a cabochon cut to showcase its internal play of color and soft, gentle glow, and it displays a pleasing balance of body tone and light transmission. The weight of 2.12 carats and the elongated marquise silhouette make this opal versatile for a range of designs, from a striking solitaire ring to an elegant pendant, and the dimensions provide a comfortable scale for everyday wearable jewelry. The translucent character allows light to penetrate and reveal a layered spectrum of hues, and the multi color appearance offers flashes that shift with movement and lighting. This is a White Opal in classification, originating from Australia, unenhanced and presented in a natural state to preserve its authentic beauty.

Visually the stone exhibits a medium intense color intensity which is lively without overpowering, and the play of color shows predominantly green and blue notes with hints of warmer tones that appear as you tilt the gem. The marquise shape creates a pointed, symmetrical form that visually lengthens and refines a setting, and the cabochon top enhances the opal effect by smoothing the surface so that the colors seem to float within the gem. The translucency combined with the cabochon cut gives the opal a soft, inviting glow that can read differently under daylight and indoor lighting, making it a captivating focal point in any piece. For designers and collectors who appreciate movement and subtlety, this opal delivers a dynamic yet refined display, with color patches that open and close as the wearer moves, offering a living quality that is unique to precious opal.

From a gemological perspective this White Opal carries a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning that any natural inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem overall beauty when viewed without magnification. The polish is excellent, offering a glossy surface that maximizes luster and the clarity of the colors beneath. Importantly this opal has no enhancement, so what you see is the natural play of color and structure formed over millennia in Australia, a region renowned for producing high quality opal specimens. The absence of treatment supports long term value and authenticity, and for discerning buyers who prioritize natural origin and minimal intervention, this piece represents an honest and attractive offering. The combination of carat weight, marquise form, cabochon finish, and natural Australian origin gives this opal a compelling profile for both collectors and those seeking a distinctive center stone.

For practical use and care, we recommend a bezel or partial bezel setting for daily wear to protect the delicate edges of the marquise shape, and avoid abrupt temperature changes and harsh chemicals to preserve the opal surface. This opal will sit beautifully in white metal settings to emphasize the cooler flashes, or in warmer metals to accent any warm undertones, and our design team at The Natural Gemstone Company can assist with custom mounting suggestions to suit your taste. Whether you are commissioning an engagement piece, creating an heirloom pendant, or adding a unique cabochon to a bespoke collection, this opal offers a rare combination of elegance and natural character.
