3.97 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

Allow me to present one beautiful opaque 3.97 carat oval shape multi color opal, a White Opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company. This gem is an elegant statement stone that balances subtlety and lively color play, and it measures 13.72 x 9.97 x 6.36 mm, making it proportioned for a wide range of jewelry designs. The stone carries a comforting creamy opaline body tone that serves as a perfect canvas for flashes of color, and the overall presence of the gem reads as refined and wearable. As a sales professional with a deep knowledge of gemstones, I can say that this opal is especially attractive for someone who wants the classic charm of Australian opal, with a versatile size and weight that works well in both modern and vintage inspired settings. The Natural Gemstone Company selects material that is natural and untreated, and this opal is a fine example of that commitment to quality.

This oval cabochon displays medium intense color intensity, and the cabochon cut and excellent polish maximize the gem to show a lively mix of greens, soft reds, delicate pinks, and warm flashes of orange that move as the light or viewing angle changes, providing that characteristic opal fire that collectors and designers prize. The smooth domed profile of the cabochon enhances the color play, while the opaque White Opal body makes the flashes appear as bright, brush like strokes across a creamy backdrop, providing a painterly effect when viewed up close. At 3.97 carats this opal has enough mass for a bold ring or a standout pendant, yet it retains an intimate elegance that reads beautifully in a pair of drop earrings or a bespoke brooch. The excellent polish yields a clean reflective surface that helps the colors pop without distracting surface features, and the gem presents evenly from all angles due to careful cutting and shaping.

This opal is natural from Australia, and it has received no enhancement, which is important for buyers who value untreated origin stones that reflect their natural character. Australian White Opal is known for its stable and pleasing body tone, and the current specimen benefits from the opacity that gives it a dependable and wearable appearance without the fragility sometimes associated with thinner transparent opals. For settings, consider a bezel mounting for everyday wear to protect the domed surface, or a low prong style that keeps the stone secure while allowing light to interact with the surface for maximum color play. Warm metals like 14 karat or 18 karat yellow gold complement the warm background tones and bring out the orange and pink flashes, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the greens and cooler flashes. The dimensions 13.72 x 9.97 x 6.36 mm and the weight 3.97 carat make this gem easy to visualize in classic solitaires, halo settings, or artisan bespoke designs.

When you are ready to proceed, The Natural Gemstone Company will gladly provide additional high resolution images and viewing angles to help you assess the color play and suitability for your intended design, and we can discuss custom setting options or matching stones if you are creating a pair or a set. For care, avoid harsh chemicals and strong heat, and store the opal away from very dry or very hot environments to preserve its natural beauty, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild water if needed. This White Opal, with its natural Australian origin, cabochon cut, excellent polish, medium intense color intensity, and no enhancement, represents an attractive and reliable choice for a thoughtful, elegant piece of jewelry.
