3.10 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This listing from The Natural Gemstone Company presents a fine example of Australian White Opal, a translucent multi color opal weighing 3.10 carats, with precise measurements of 12.23 x 11.80 x 3.61 mm. The gem is fashioned in a trillion shape with a tablet cut, a facet style that preserves a broad, gently domed surface ideal for showcasing opal play of color. Clarity is graded eye clean when evaluated at normal viewing distance, which means no inclusions are apparent to the unaided eye, a notable quality for opal and a feature that increases collector and setting value. Color intensity is rated intense, yielding vivid flashes of red, green, and blue across the white opal body, and the polish is excellent, providing strong light return and a pleasing tactile finish. There has been no enhancement to this stone, so the color and clarity are natural characteristics of the material, and the documented origin is Australia, which is widely recognized for producing high quality white opal material.

For an educated buyer, the combination of intense play of color, eye clean clarity, and Australian origin makes this specimen particularly attractive both for investment and for high end jewelry design. The tablet cut and trillion outline allow lapidaries and designers to exploit the broad color table, making it suitable for solitaire rings, pendants, or bespoke settings where the opal can be mounted with proper protection against impact. The lack of enhancement preserves natural value, and the eye clean grade reduces concerns about structural weaknesses that can complicate mounting and long term stability. Purchasing through The Natural Gemstone Company provides provenance and professional handling, and we can advise on setting styles that minimize stress on the stone and maximize visible color. For care, avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or harsh chemicals, store flat to reduce pressure points, and consider a bezel or protective setting for daily wear. If you seek a versatile, visually engaging white opal with strong natural color and sound gemological attributes, this 3.10 carat Australian White Opal is a compelling option.
