This translucent 3.02 carat oval multi color opal is an exceptional example of Australian white opal, offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, the gem is precisely measured at 12.84 x 10.34 x 3.98 millimeters, and cut in a tablet style to maximize the internal play of color, the gem displays a medium intense color intensity with vivid flashes of green, red, and blue that shift as the stone moves, the clarity is graded eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent bringing a smooth, luminous surface to the cabochon, the stone has no enhancement, which preserves its natural character and value, this white opal is translucent rather than fully transparent, and the soft opalescence provides a beautifully subtle background to the bright color patches, this combination of size, weight, cut, and natural color makes it ideal for a striking center stone in a pendant or a refined ring, because of its tablet cut and measured depth, the gem sits elegantly when set, and it photographs beautifully under both natural daylight and soft studio lighting.
As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I recommend this white opal to collectors and designers alike, the gem pairs particularly well with warm yellow gold to enhance the red and orange flashes, and with white gold or platinum to emphasize the cooler green and blue tones, for everyday wear I advise thoughtful care, avoid high heat, prolonged exposure to direct strong sunlight, harsh chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, clean gently with a soft damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, when designing a piece consider a protective bezel or a low profile setting to help protect the stone from knocks, because this opal is natural and unenhanced its uniqueness is preserved, we are happy to provide additional images or to discuss custom setting options to suit your design vision, please reach out to The Natural Gemstone Company, and we will assist you with certification details, secure shipping, and any further questions you may have.
