3.02 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a translucent multi color White Opal weighing 3.02 carats, in an elegant oval shape with dimensions of 12.84 by 10.34 by 3.98 mm. The stone has been fashioned in a tablet cut, which provides a broad surface plane to showcase the play of color while maintaining a refined dome profile. The body tone is characteristic of White Opal with a light base that allows iridescent flashes of green, red, and blue to appear across the surface, producing a lively and attractive visual effect under varied lighting. The polish is graded excellent, which enhances light return and contributes to a smooth, bright appearance ideal for fine jewelry.

From a grading perspective this opal is eye clean when evaluated at normal viewing distance, meaning there are no inclusions or features readily visible to the unaided eye that would distract from the gem quality. Color intensity is assessed as medium intense, which for a White Opal is a desirable balance between subtlety and vibrancy, allowing the play of color to be appreciated against the lighter body without overpowering the piece. Importantly this opal has no enhancement and is reported to be of Australian origin, which is widely regarded by connoisseurs as a primary source of high quality opals. The fact that the stone is untreated increases its value to educated buyers who prioritize natural condition, provenance, and stable color for investment or bespoke design purposes. The tablet cut maximizes the surface display of color patches and is especially effective for settings that emphasize table visibility.

For practical considerations and long term enjoyment we recommend secure, protective settings such as bezel or halo styles for rings, pendants, or earrings, because the modest depth of 3.98 mm benefits from a setting that reduces the risk of edge impact. Opal care guidance includes avoiding sudden temperature changes, prolonged exposure to strong cleaning chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, and using only mild soap and water with a soft cloth for routine cleaning. For further confidence we can provide additional photographs, lighting views, and arrange independent gemological documentation upon request.
