2.20 Ct. Multi Color Crystal Opal (Jelly Opal) from Australia

This is a beautiful translucent crystal opal weighing 2.20 carat, presented in a pear shape with dimensions 15.45 by 9.11 by 2.56 mm, cut in a tablet style to maximize translucency and play of color. The tablet cut provides a flatter profile that allows light to penetrate and interact with the internal silica structure, producing vivid multi color flashes that are especially prized by collectors and connoisseurs. The stone carries an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that enhances surface luster and makes color patches read strongly from different angles. Clarity has been graded as eye clean at eye level by our experienced graders, meaning there are no visible inclusions that distract from the gem when inspected by the unaided eye. This opal is natural and unenhanced, sourced from Australia, a region renowned for producing high quality crystal opal, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the origin and full disclosure of its untreated status.

Inclusions in crystal opal are not flaws in the conventional sense, they are natural identifiers that tell the story of formation and origin, and in this specimen they contribute to its individuality. Typical internal features include microscopic arrangements of silica spheres that create the characteristic play of color, faint growth zoning, and sometimes minute pinpoints of potch or mineral accessory matter at a microscopic level. While this opal is eye clean, microscopic examination can reveal such features, and those details are often used by gemologists to match material to its Australian sources and to confirm natural formation without infusion or dye. These internal structures can enhance character, producing unique color patterns and lacing that set one opal apart from another, and for an educated buyer these markers are a form of natural fingerprint that adds conservation value and collectible interest. The combination of a generous 2.20 carat weight, pear shape that is versatile for a range of jewelry settings, tablet cut that amplifies translucency, intense multi color play, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, confirmed Australian origin, and zero enhancements makes this crystal opal a compelling purchase for collectors and fine jewelry designers who value documented natural provenance and distinctive gemological character.
