For centuries opal has been admired as a stone of subtle mystery and quiet elegance, a gem that carries the memory of ancient shores and the slow currents of geological time. This White Opal, sourced from Australia and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, embodies that enduring narrative. It is a semi transparent multi color opal weighing 2.26 carat, fashioned into a classic oval shape with dimensions of 10.34 x 8.32 x 4.11 mm, cut en cabochon to showcase the internal fire. The stone displays a medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish, revealing a delicate but vivid play of color that shifts with every movement. With a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and with no enhancement, this opal retains an authentic purity that collectors and connoisseurs prize.
This gem is ideal for anyone who values heritage in their jewels, as its soft opalescence and multi color flashes recall the timeless pieces worn by generations past. The cabochon cut and oval silhouette are choices steeped in tradition, designed to emphasize the opal’s depth rather than to distract with angular facets, making it perfect for heirloom style rings, pendant lockets, or a refined brooch. The semi transparent body allows internal color patches to bloom, while the very slightly included clarity gives character without diminishing brilliance. Because it is unenhanced and comes from Australia, the provenance of this White Opal adds both historical weight and market desirability, a combination that appeals to those who seek stones with story as well as beauty.
As your guide and curator I recommend settings that respect the gem’s quiet luminosity, such as warm metals that complement the opal’s subtle rainbow, or bezel mounts that protect the cabochon while preserving classic lines. Care is simple and traditional, avoid harsh chemicals and sudden temperature change, clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. At The Natural Gemstone Company we appreciate gemstones for their lineage as much as their light, and this opal is a perfect tribute to continuity and elegance, a jewel to be worn now and passed down through generations, carrying with it a small part of the earth’s deep history.
