2.17 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

This exquisite gem from The Natural Gemstone Company is a beautiful translucent crystal jelly opal, weighing 2.17 carats, presented in an elegant oval shape. The stone measures 15.27 x 9.22 x 2.32 mm, and has been fashioned with a tablet cut that enhances the play of color across its surface. You will notice a medium intense color intensity with multi color flashes that range from electric greens to subtle blues and warm reds, all moving beneath the translucent body. The polish is excellent, producing a smooth surface that allows light to dance through the gem without interruption. This is a natural Australian opal, with no enhancement, offered in its clean, natural state for those who appreciate authenticity and the distinct character of a true crystal jelly opal.

As someone who works with gemstones daily, I can tell you this opal is versatile and will make a stunning center stone or complementary accent in fine jewelry, especially in settings that allow light to pass through and reveal the internal color play. Its tablet cut and moderate depth make it ideal for bezel or open back settings, and the generous dimensions give a presence on the finger or pendant without overwhelming delicate designs. For care, avoid sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals, and store it separately to protect the excellent polish. At The Natural Gemstone Company we pride ourselves on offering responsibly sourced, untreated stones, and this piece is a perfect example of our selection. If you prefer a custom setting recommendation or additional photos under different lighting to see the color play further, I am happy to assist and arrange detailed views to help you visualize how this 2.17 carat oval crystal jelly opal will look in your chosen design.
