This offering is a translucent multi color opal, a true Crystal or Jelly Opal, weighing 2.40 carat, fashioned into an elegant pear shape with precise dimensions of 15.63 by 7.80 by 3.27 mm. The cutter chose a tablet cut to preserve the stone body and to showcase the internal play of color without overwhelming the gem with depth. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when viewed in jewelry, yet they attest to the natural origin and character of the stone. Color intensity is classified as intense, which is evident in the vivid flashes of green and hints of violet that animate the gem across different angles. The polish is excellent, giving a clean surface and strong light return, and the piece is offered with no enhancement. The origin is Australia, a region that consistently produces world class opals, and this provenance supports both the aesthetic appeal and long term value of the stone.

For an engagement ring this opal is a graceful alternative to conventional choices, providing emotional resonance and a wearable statement that is at once modern and timeless. The pear silhouette flatters a range of settings, and because the stone is translucent with intense play of color, it can be set in a bezel design to protect the edges or in a three prong style for a lighter, more open presentation. For collectors this specimen fills an important niche, because Crystal and Jelly Opals with intense color and natural clarity are increasingly sought after for both display and investment. The tablet cut means the gem presents its color more broadly across the face, creating a luminous field of color that reads spectacularly under diffused light, and its dimensions are well suited for both bespoke pieces and classic designs. If you are looking to commission a bespoke mounting, the proportions of this opal make it flexible, and the light reflective qualities pair beautifully with warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold and with the cool contrast of platinum.

You will find that choosing this opal through The Natural Gemstone Company brings clarity and support through the process, because we provide accurate descriptions, photography, and honest sourcing. Care is straightforward, because this is a natural, untreated opal with no enhancement, however you should avoid sudden temperature changes, prolonged exposure to chemicals, and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, in order to preserve the clarity and polish.
