3.98 Ct. White Opal from Australia

Introducing a rare and elegant White Opal from Australia, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, a single translucent oval gem weighing 3.98 carats, with measurements of 16.00 x 9.96 x 4.13 mm, masterfully fashioned in a tablet cut to emphasize its surface color, clarity, and movement. This multi color opal displays an intense color intensity across a soft, pale body tone that is characteristic of fine white opals, the play of color ranging from vivid greens and electric blues to flashes of warm orange and pale red, all dancing across the face of the stone as it is viewed from different angles. The clarity is graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, meaning you will not see inclusions without magnification, and the excellent polish produces a smooth, silky surface that enhances light return and sparkle. No enhancements have been applied to this gem, it is completely natural and untreated, and it hails from Australia, the classic and most respected origin for opals, which contributes to both its desirability and long term value.

Visually this White Opal is especially striking because of its tablet cut, a shallow, slightly convex profile that allows a broad surface area for the play of color to read boldly, making it ideal for showcasing in both modern and vintage inspired designs. The nearly oval outline measures 16.00 x 9.96 mm, a size that sits beautifully as a center stone in rings, pendants, or as a focal element in bespoke cufflinks, and the 4.13 mm thickness gives it comfortable stability for secure setting while maintaining a refined silhouette. The multi color palette is lively and well distributed, with patches of bright green and blue dominating, punctuated by orange flashes that add warmth and dynamism, creating an almost painterly effect that changes with every movement. Because the opal is translucent rather than opaque, the light penetrates slightly and interacts with internal structures to produce a deep, shimmering appearance, and the eye clean clarity ensures that the interplay of color remains uninterrupted and pure.

When you choose this opal from The Natural Gemstone Company you are selecting a gem that is ready for fine jewelry, unmodified by treatments, and accompanied by honest, detailed description from a trusted source. White Opals require gentle care to maintain their beauty, so avoid harsh chemicals, extreme heat, and sudden changes in humidity, and remove the jewelry during strenuous activity, while occasional wiping with a soft cloth and warm water will keep the surface clean and lustrous. For settings, a bezel or low prong style works well to protect the tablet cut edge, and a warm gold mounting will accentuate the orange and green flashes, while a cool white metal will emphasize the blues and greens for a more contemporary look. We recommend viewing the stone in natural daylight when possible, as this will best reveal the full spectrum of its play of color.
