27.86 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a rare and substantial example of natural beauty, weighing 27.86 carats and presented in an elegant oval shape, measuring 26.48 by 17.81 by 6.01 mm, with a classic cabochon cut and an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, colorless color intensity, and an excellent polish. Unlike treated opals and assembled pieces such as doublets and triplets that are common in the market, this gem is untreated, with no enhancement, and originates from Australia, the benchmark source for high quality white opal. Its translucent body offers a clean, pure backdrop that highlights any subtle play of color, and the cabochon cut has been executed to maximize visual depth and surface luster, making the stone appear larger and more luminous than many comparably sized specimens you will encounter elsewhere. For buyers who value authenticity and long term appeal, this opal stands apart from lower grade white opals that often display cloudiness, heavy inclusions, or artificial treatments that reduce both aesthetic and resale value.

When compared to other options available, this White Opal delivers superior value through a combination of size, natural clarity, and provenance. Many market pieces compromise on one or more of these attributes, offering either small carat weights, unclear material, or undisclosed enhancements, which can mislead buyers and depreciate over time. This Australian opal, sourced and presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, gives designers and collectors a reliable, untreated canvas for high end jewelry, and a credible addition to a natural gemstone collection. The stone is especially well suited for settings that showcase oval cabochons, including bezels and simple prong mounts that allow light to reveal the opal character, and because it is eye clean and well polished, it requires minimal treatment or modification before setting. If you are comparing this White Opal to treated or synthetic alternatives, consider the long term satisfaction and ethical clarity of owning a natural, unenhanced gem from a reputable supplier, The Natural Gemstone Company, whose selection emphasizes transparent origin and honest grading.
