As a representative of fine Australian White Opal material, this gem displays the hallmarks collectors and designers seek, including a clean, well polished surface that maximizes the internal fire, and a freeform silhouette that makes it ideal for creative custom work or a standout single stone setting.

Visually this multi color opal presents a lively, peppered play of color across the surface, with dominant green flashes accented by warmer red and orange tones when the light catches the stone, and subtle hints of blue and violet that appear depending on viewing angle, the intense color intensity and even distribution of color make the gem particularly striking under both natural daylight and soft indoor lighting, and the translucency softens the overall look while allowing the flashes to appear suspended within the body of the stone. With its 2.30 mm thickness the opal is delicate yet wearable, and we recommend settings that offer protection along the edges such as a bezel, partial bezel, or a secure prong configuration with a protective gallery, alternatively the freeform shape lends itself beautifully to pendant, brooch, or statement ring designs where the unique outline can be embraced rather than forced into a strict geometric mount, the excellent polish ensures comfortable wear against the skin and a brilliant surface reflection that complements the internal color play.
