The elegance of our 2.86 carat oval-shaped multi-color opal is a testament to the timeless allure that gemstones have held throughout history. The opal, with its origins rooted in the dynamic geology of Ethiopia, draws parallels to the famed opals revered in ancient civilizations. Known as White Opal, this gem conjures images of opal traders from ancient Rome to the majestic courts of India, where opals were cherished for their unparalleled play of color. At The Natural Gemstone Company, we understand and celebrate such history, offering you an opportunity to own a piece that echoes greatness through the ages.
This opal possesses a semi-transparency that allows light to dance effortlessly within, much like the famed Lightning Ridge opals of Australia. Its enticement lies within its multi-hued canvas that captures the vivid allure akin to the legendary Black Prince's Ruby. Although the clarity of this opal is rated as very slightly included upon eye-level evaluation, it retains an endearing medium color intensity; a gentle caress of nature's brush that imbues this stone with life. With its cabochon cut, it showcases a seamless polish that elevates its aesthetic allure, embodying the very excellence we strive for at The Natural Gemstone Company.
The historical appeal of opals is rivaled only by their inherent ability to captivate the present. Like the Hoffmeister Opal, this stone boasts a richness that speaks of both earth and sky. With a dimension of 12.15 x 11.62 x 6.45 mm, its impressiveness isn't confined to its size, but rather to the narrative it holds within. It speaks of an unending legacy and a continuity with the luxurious opals worn by Cleopatra, furthering her enchanting elegance. Our gemstone’s lack of enhancement assures you of an authenticity that echoes through time, honoring a purity comparable to Cleopatra’s ardor itself.
Ethiopian opals have carved a niche in the esteemed halls of gemology, carving competition with their Australian and Hungarian counterparts, as cultures across the globe drew allure from their striking nuances. This white opal is no different, offering a distinct touch of ethereal radiance akin to a mystical aurora. Embedded in a modern yet classic setting, it promises to not only adorn but tell stories, weaving its essence into your personal journey. Through The Natural Gemstone Company, it connects you to civilizations revered for their opulent jewels, each facet a tribute to opulence cherished through millennia.
In owning this opal, you claim your own chapter in a story transcending centuries. A talisman of either personal reverence or public revelation, our opal stands to dispatch whispers of legacy through time’s endless corridor. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to indulge in a symphony of history, embracing both tradition and beauty.
