The Natural Gemstone Company is delighted to present an exquisite 2.73 carat multi color opal that embodies the timeless allure and unique characteristics appreciated by connoisseurs and collectors alike. This opal, distinctive for its cushion shape, measures 8.67 x 7.98 x 3.55 mm and exhibits a remarkable palette of colors that shifts and changes in varied lighting conditions. Its origin from the renowned opal fields of Australia further enriches its authenticity and desirability, marking it as a boulder opal. Boulder opals are celebrated for their captivating play of color and the ability to showcase vibrant hues against their ironstone matrix backgrounds, thus adding a unique charm seen in every piece derived from this variety.
Crafted with meticulous precision, this opal boasts a tablet cut that accentuates its optical phenomena. The facets are engineered to maximize brilliance while maintaining an authentic connection to its naturally occurring beauty. The polish is graded as excellent, ensuring that every surface refracts light to its fullest extent and displays an iridescent play that boulder opals are renowned for. This particular opal exhibits intense color intensity, with spectral elements that are vivid and captivating. The clarity is evaluated at an eye level as very slightly included, meaning any inclusions are minimal and do not distract from its natural beauty, allowing the viewer an unimpeded experience of its vibrant surface.
Equipped with a durability comparable to a hardness grading of 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, this opal is adequately suited for a variety of display settings where both beauty and longevity are prioritized. While boulder opals do require a degree of care to maintain their pristine surface, their robustness is sufficient for occasional wear and most settings in jewelry collections. The Natural Gemstone Company prides itself on the craftsmanship and devotion put into every gem, ensuring each piece passes stringent quality assessments and stands as a testament to exceptional natural artistry. For collectors and enthusiasts who value the finer details of adherence to geological and gemological standards, this opal offers an investment replete with both esthetic splendor and substantial material authenticity.
