2.27 Ct. Crystal/Jelly Opal from Australia

Introducing a rare and captivating Crystal Jelly Opal from Australia, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, a translucent 2.27 carat oval stone with precise measurements of 11.46 x 7.53 x 3.72 mm, tablet cut for a modern, low domed profile, clarity graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, intense color intensity that yields vivid play of color across the surface, and an excellent polish that enhances its brilliance, enhancement free, natural and untreated. This gem is a genuine Crystal Jelly Opal, prized for its transparent to semi transparent body that allows light to pass through and illuminate the internal color flashes, offering greens and blues that dance with purples and soft pinks depending on the angle. The tablet cut presents a broad face for maximum color display, and the low profile thickness makes this opal ideal for designs that require a secure bezel or flush setting. At 2.27 carats this opal has a substantial presence, while its oval shape offers classic elegance and versatile setting options.

Visually the opal is mesmerizing, with areas of brilliant apple green and electric blue set against a delicate jelly like milky backdrop that catches ambient light and seems to glow from within. Because it is a crystal style opal, the play of color appears suspended inside the stone, giving a three dimensional and almost ethereal effect, especially when tilted under different lights. The intense color intensity means the flashes are strong and readily visible without needing special lighting, while the very slightly included clarity grade indicates minimal natural inclusions that do not detract from the overall beauty when viewed at typical sight distances. The excellent polish ensures a smooth, reflective surface that enhances color contrast and makes the gem comfortable to wear. This opal will appeal to collectors and designers who appreciate natural, untreated gemstones with a luminous personality.

For setting and design, consider a protective bezel mount in warm yellow gold to enrich the green flashes, or cool white gold or platinum to emphasize the blues and give a contemporary aesthetic. The tablet cut and modest thickness lend themselves well to pendants where the opal can be shown face up against the light, or to low profile rings that sit close to the finger and reduce the risk of impact. If you prefer a more secure option for everyday wear, a halo of small diamonds or spinels can both highlight the central play of color and add structural protection without overpowering the opal. Because the stone is natural and untreated, avoid designs that expose long edges to knocks, and choose a setting that supports the pavilion evenly to prevent stress. This oval Crystal Jelly Opal would also make a striking single stud pendant, an elegant statement ring, or a bespoke commission center stone for a one of a kind piece.

Care and provenance are important, and The Natural Gemstone Company provides full disclosure about origin and treatments, confirming that this opal is from Australia and has no enhancements. Opals are hydrate silica and require gentle handling, avoid prolonged exposure to high heat, sudden temperature changes, household chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, clean with a soft damp cloth and mild soap if needed, and store wrapped separately from harder gemstones to prevent scratches. The natural, untreated origin and the exceptional polish make this opal a thoughtful acquisition for collectors seeking authenticity, and for designers wanting a luminous focal gem with a unique character.
