3.44 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from United States

One beautiful opaque 3.44 carat oval shape multi color opal from The Natural Gemstone Company offers a lovely balance of natural character and wearable size, with dimensions of 14.94 x 12.11 x 3.09 mm. This White Opal is cut as a classic cabochon to maximize its play of color, and it displays medium intense color intensity with delicate multicolored flashes across its surface. The polish is excellent, producing a smooth, reflective dome that highlights the internal fire, while the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the unaided eye with only minor natural features visible under close inspection. Origin United States, enhancement no enhancement, this opal is fully natural and untreated which is especially desirable for collectors and designers who prefer stones in their original state. The opaque body tone gives the gem a soft, luminous background that makes the subtle green and yellow flashes and occasional warmer tones sing, creating a gentle, organic look that works beautifully in both contemporary and vintage inspired settings.

For customers considering this gem for a commission or finished piece, the cabochon oval shape and the stone proportions lend themselves well to bezel settings or low prong mounts that protect the domed surface, with pendant and ring designs showing the color play best. Because the stone is opaque and has a medium intense play of color, it reads warmly under natural daylight and adapts well to mixed metal settings, particularly warm tones that complement the opal flashes. Care is straightforward, treat the opal gently, avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to heat, and store it separately to prevent scratches to the polished surface. At The Natural Gemstone Company we can advise on matching sizes, setting styles, and mounting options to showcase this White Opal, and we welcome inquiries for additional photos, videos of the color play, or assistance in designing a custom piece around this unique, untreated American opal.
