Introducing a beautiful translucent 4.17 carat pear shape multi color opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company, this White Opal measures 15.72 x 9.45 x 4.76 mm and is fashioned as a smooth cabochon to reveal its internal play of color. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, exhibiting a medium light color intensity and an excellent polish that enhances the subtle flashes within the body of the opal. There is no enhancement of any kind, and the origin is Australia, which is renowned for producing high quality White Opal. The combination of a classic pear shape and a fine cabochon cut makes this gem versatile for many jewelry designs, and the translucent quality allows the multi color flashes to gently shift as the gem moves.
Visually the opal presents soft opalescent whites and creams with delicate iridescent accents in green, blue, and occasional warm tones that emerge under varied light, giving the piece a serene yet lively character. The 15.72 x 9.45 x 4.76 mm proportions are ideal for a pendant or a statement drop earring, and the tapered tip of the pear shape lends itself to elegant, elongating settings. For longevity I recommend a bezel or protective prong setting that secures the narrower point while highlighting the cabochon dome, allowing the excellent polish to catch and reflect light without risk. As a White Opal, its gentle translucency suits both modern clean metal designs and more intricate vintage inspired mounts.
As a trusted source The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind the natural origin and quality of this opal, and we are happy to provide additional views or guidance on custom settings to best showcase the gem. Care is straightforward, use warm water with a mild soap and a soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, and remove the piece during heavy physical activity to protect the cabochon surface. If you seek a distinctive pair or a matched ensemble we can assist with sourcing and recommendations, and we welcome any questions to help you select the perfect setting for this charming Australian White Opal.
