2.86 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Ethiopia

A White Opal of quiet majesty arrives from Ethiopia, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, an object of desire for the discerning connoisseur. This semi transparent, multi color opal weighs 2.86 carat, and is fashioned in an elegant oval shape that measures 11.64 x 8.93 x 5.69 mm, a proportion that balances presence with wearable grace. The cabochon cut has been executed to display an enduring, soft dome that captures and amplifies the stone’s internal fire, allowing pastel flashes to breathe across its luminous body. Its surface exhibits an excellent polish, a final act of refinement that produces a satin glow by day and a luminous beacon by evening, a jewel that reveals itself slowly and rewards close, private study.

The visual poetry of this opal is its multi color play, a whispering orchestra of blues, greens, and soft rose tones that shift with the light, organized into a medium intense color intensity that is at once restrained and compelling. Viewed at eye level, the clarity grade registers as eye clean, a purity that allows the shifting color patches to read with clarity and depth, rather than being interrupted by inclusions. The semi transparent body gives the play of color an ethereal, floating quality, where hues glide beneath the surface, sometimes veiling, sometimes revealing, never static. This opal’s character is subtle, the kind of beauty that invites a second look, a slow turning of the wrist to coax new notes from its interior, an intimate performance that grows more intriguing with familiarity.

The provenance of this gem is as reassuring as its appearance, it is a natural, untreated White Opal from Ethiopia, with no enhancement. This authenticity is central to its allure, a testament to nature’s craftsmanship rather than human modification. From initial selection to final presentation, The Natural Gemstone Company curates with an exacting eye, ensuring that each gem meets the standards of collectors and high jewelry ateliers alike. The cabochon form, combined with the stone’s dimensions and weight, makes it a superb candidate for a bespoke ring, an intimate pendant, or a refined pair of earrings, each setting able to frame and elevate the opal’s delicate chromatic ballet. For those who value traditional lapidary tradition, this piece speaks to the bond between artisan and material, where cut and polish respect and accentuate the gem’s innate personality.

To own this Ethiopian White Opal is to claim a narrative of taste and discernment, a private talisman that signals refined sensibility without ostentation. The 2.86 carat weight is substantial enough to carry visual impact, yet measured enough to integrate gracefully into sophisticated everyday wear. Imagine it set in a warm gold mount that accentuates the pinks and greens, or in cool platinum that heightens the misty whites and blues, each metal translating a different facet of its beauty.
