From the moment light finds its depths this Australian gem recalls a long human fascination with opal, a stone that has been admired by ancient Romans, treasured by Renaissance jewelers, and woven into the legends of cultures around the world. This piece is a Crystal or Jelly Opal, a translucent treasure that captures color from within, a quality that has long symbolized clarity of spirit and the quiet drama of nature. The oval shape and tablet cut allow broad flashes of green, blue, and flashes of red to move across the surface, and the medium intense color intensity gives a balanced, enduring presence that is both subtle and striking. We present a single beautiful multi color opal weighing 2.17 carats, with dimensions of 15.27 by 9.22 by 2.32 mm, finished to an excellent polish and offered without enhancement, a testament to natural beauty and honest provenance. The tablet cut is a classic form that speaks to traditional lapidary skill, creating a low profile ideal for settings that honor the stone rather than overpower it, and the translucent body of this Crystal or Jelly Opal lets colors breathe and evolve as the gem moves.
For those who cherish heirloom quality and a sense of continuity with the past, this opal offers a timeless canvas ready to become a family treasure. The play of color is gentle yet persistent, suited to a pendant that will rest over the heart or a ring that will be worn daily with care, and the Australian origin anchors the gem to one of the most respected histories in opal mining. At The Natural Gemstone Company we take pride in selecting stones with clear character and honest descriptions, and this opal is presented exactly as found, tablet cut, excellent polish, no enhancement, and true to its natural origins. If you are considering a bespoke setting to highlight the multi color flashes or seeking advice on care and mounting that will preserve this stone for generations, our team is ready to consult and guide you through metals, prong styles, and protective settings that enhance both beauty and longevity. Owning this opal is to embrace a living tradition, a small piece of Earths palette shaped by time, ready to become part of your story.
