One natural White Opal, oval shape, weight 2.92 carats, dimensions 15.63 x 11.80 x 2.52 mm, tablet cut. The gem is opaque with a light body tone characteristic of white opal, and it displays multi color play across the surface. Clarity is graded eye clean when viewed at normal viewing distance, evaluated at eye level, with no inclusions visible without magnification. Color intensity is medium, providing a balanced and discernible display of color without overpowering the stone, and the finish is an excellent polish that accentuates the opal’s natural iridescence. Enhancement status is none, the stone is natural and unenhanced, and origin is Australia, a primary and reputable source for quality opals.
Visually the opal presents a soft, pale body color that supports a scattering of green and blue flashes, with occasional touches of purple and warmer hues depending on the angle of view and light source. The tablet cut produces a flattened profile and broad face area that emphasizes the internal color play, making the flashes more apparent across the top surface rather than concentrated in a single focal area, the effect is diffuse and evenly distributed rather than isolated to patches. Medium color intensity means the play of color is lively under direct light yet remains subtle in softer ambient conditions, a characteristic that suits designs where the opal is intended to complement rather than dominate. The excellent polish enhances light return and aids in visual uniformity, while the oval outline and the proportions indicated by the stated dimensions deliver a balanced silhouette for a variety of jewelry applications.
From a practical standpoint the piece is well suited for settings that protect the perimeter and allow the tablet face to be visible, such as bezel, half bezel, or flush mountings, which also accommodate the shallower profile implied by the tablet cut. Given the relative softness and water content typical of opal, routine care should include avoiding harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning, protecting the stone from sudden temperature changes, and having any setting work performed by a jeweler experienced with opal mounting to prevent chipping or stress. This specimen carries a clear provenance to Australia and is sold as a natural, untreated White Opal, evaluated and handled by The Natural Gemstone Company, with the listed specifications reflecting our in house assessment. For clients seeking a statement piece with refined color play and a controlled, modest intensity, this opal provides a reliable option that balances visual appeal with ease of setting and maintenance.
