4.63 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Mexico

This exquisite Crystal or Jelly Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a beautiful semi transparent 4.63 carat oval gem, measuring 14.14 x 9.64 x 6.10 mm. Cut as a classic cabochon to maximize its play of color, this piece displays intense color intensity and an excellent polish, with multicolored flashes dancing across a gentle translucent body. Originating from Mexico, this opal is untreated and natural, enhancement no enhancement, so what you see is the genuine, unenhanced character of the material. The crystal or jelly type gives it a luminous, almost ethereal depth, allowing internal colors to shift from fiery reds and oranges to vivid greens and cool violets as light and angle change, making it ideal for designs that celebrate movement and light.

As a versatile collector stone or a focal gem in bespoke jewelry, this 4.63 carat oval opal is particularly well suited to rings with protective settings, pendants that allow light to penetrate the stone, or custom pieces that highlight its semi transparent nature. The cabochon shape and superb polish enhance its color play while offering a comfortable profile for wear, and the size and proportions make it substantial without overwhelming a refined design. For care, avoid sudden temperature changes, strong chemicals, and ultrasonic cleaners, and store the opal away from hard stones to prevent abrasion, because opals are beautiful yet require gentle handling. If you would like assistance choosing a metal or setting that complements the warm and cool flashes of this gem, The Natural Gemstone Company can provide expert guidance, bespoke mounting services, and secure shipping.
