2.36 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

If you are searching for a singular center stone that will both captivate onlookers and bring a sense of completion to a long search, this pear shaped White Opal is the answer that ends your quest. At The Natural Gemstone Company we understand that buyers want more than measurements and grades, they want reassurance that the gem in hand matches the dream they have pictured. This opal weighs 2.36 carats and measures 14.62 x 8.44 x 4.50 mm, a size that sits beautifully as a refined solitaire or as the elegant focal point in a halo or tapered shoulder setting. The cabochon cut enhances the opal family character by rounding the dome to reveal a fluid play of color, and this specimen is opaque with a comforting white body tone that serves as a luminous canvas for soft reds, greens, and blue flashes. With medium color intensity and an excellent polish, the surface gleams cleanly under light, and because this gem is natural with no enhancement, you hold an honest, enduring example of Australian origin. For an engagement ring where subtlety and personality matter, or for a collector aiming to add a responsibly sourced Australian opal to their cabinet, this stone answers both briefs with poise.

For those imagining the finished piece, picture the pear silhouette extending gently along a finger, or set tip up as a pendant that draws light into its heart. The multi color play that moves across the white opal body strikes a balance between statement and sophistication, making it ideal for clients who want color without overwhelming brightness. Its medium color intensity means the flashes are visible and enchanting under many light conditions, yet the overall aesthetic remains soft and wearable for daily jewelry. The excellent polish not only contributes to a vivid appearance, it also indicates careful lapidary work which reduces the need for future reworking. Because this opal is untreated, you are investing in longevity and transparency, attributes that matter to discerning buyers and to those purchasing a gem for life events. As a sales professional at The Natural Gemstone Company I can help you choose settings that protect the opal, since the cabochon form and the 4.50 mm depth offer a protective profile that still allows the stone to breathe and reveal its inner color.

Beyond the technical specifications, this gem solves the emotional needs of many customers. For someone proposing, it represents uniqueness and intimacy, because opals are inherently individual with patterns that no other stone repeats. For collectors, the Australian origin adds provenance and market significance, given Australia is celebrated for producing high quality white opals. If you are seeking a gemstone that reads as both classic and contemporary, the pear shape answers that need with organic lines that flatter and elongate. Practical care guidance is straightforward and helps ensure your investment continues to glow, clean the opal with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoid sudden temperature shocks and harsh chemicals, and consider protective bezel settings for daily wear. At The Natural Gemstone Company we also offer guidance on custom settings, matching accents, and professional recommendations for insurance and appraisal. Choose this 2.36 carat White Opal and you are choosing a finished vision rather than another option, because its balance of size, pear shape, natural multi color play, medium intensity, and flawless polish combined with Australian origin and zero enhancements makes it a definitive solution for engagement seekers, collectors, and anyone who wants a lasting, luminous centerpiece.
