At The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present a beautiful translucent 3.31 carat oval multi color opal, a White Opal sourced from Australia that displays serene play of color and delicate translucency. Under daylight the stone shows soft flashes that shift as the viewing angle changes, offering greens, blues, and hints of warm tones that complement most metals. This oval gem measures 15.88 by 10.04 by 3.47 mm, and its tablet cut emphasizes the internal color patches while preserving a comfortable profile for bezel or prong settings. The oval proportions create a flattering silhouette on the finger, making this gem versatile for rings, pendants, or bespoke designs.
This White Opal carries a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is typical for natural Australian opals and contributes to its unique character rather than detracting from its beauty. The slightly included areas are present at eye level but do not interrupt the diffuse color patches, and they serve as natural fingerprints that confirm the stone is not a composite. Color intensity is medium intense, with attractive flashes across the surface that create a lively yet soft appearance under varied lighting, and the excellent polish ensures maximum luster from every angle. The tablet cut produces a broad face for the color to play, there has been no enhancement, and this is a solid natural opal rather than a doublet or triplet, offering honest value for the 3.31 carat weight.
As gemstone specialists we recommend settings that protect the tablet profile while allowing light to animate the play of color, such as slightly recessed bezels or secure three or four prong mounts with a low profile, and designs that shelter the thinner edges to reduce the risk of impact. Opals are hydrated silica, so avoid sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals, and clean this piece gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. This opal is ideal for someone who appreciates genuine Australian White Opal material with natural inclusions and a pleasing size, and if you would like close up images, measurements, appraisals, or advice on mounting options our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist and guide you through selection, care, and custom setting to ensure the stone is set with attention to durability and beauty.
