3.99 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Ethiopia

One beautiful opaque White Opal weighing 3.99 carat, pear shape, cabochon cut, with precise dimensions of 15.64 x 9.29 x 4.81 mm, offers a lovely balance of size and wearable elegance. This Ethiopian gem displays a multi color play of color with lively green flashes as the most prominent hue, complemented by subtle hints of blue and warm red that shimmer as the stone moves. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and the stone has a medium color intensity with an excellent polish that enhances its smooth domed surface. The opal has been heat treated as an enhancement to stabilize and deepen its appearance, and its opaque body tone makes the colorful flashes stand out beautifully against a soft white background.

As a representative of The Natural Gemstone Company, I find this gem ideal for a classic pendant or a statement ring where the pear outline can be oriented to flatter the finger or neckline, and the cabochon cut ensures comfortable daily wear while maximizing the play of color. The size and weight are substantial enough to become a centerpiece for a bespoke design, yet versatile enough to be combined with simple metalwork for an elegant minimalist look. For care, avoid sudden temperature changes and prolonged exposure to acidic or harsh chemicals, gently clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth, and remove before strenuous activities to preserve the polish and stability. If you prefer, we can provide mounting suggestions, and specialty settings that protect the stone while showcasing its color. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company for additional photos, viewing options, or to discuss custom settings and provenance documentation. This Ethiopian White Opal is a rare find for collectors and designers who appreciate natural color and refined workmanship, and I am happy to assist with any questions or to reserve this gem for your next project.
