4.71 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This listing presents a beautiful translucent 4.71 carat freeform shape multi color opal, a White Opal from Australia, ideal for collectors and designers who value natural character and strong play of color. The gem measures 27.80 by 14.00 by 2.30 millimeters, the cut is not applicable, and the clarity grade is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, a notable advantage over many comparable stones that often show inclusions or body tone irregularities. What sets this opal apart is its intense color intensity combined with an excellent polish, which together produce a vivid, lively surface that shows flashes of green and red across a pale ground, creating a striking multi color display. This opal is completely natural with no enhancement, a feature that preserves its long term value and appeal, and that distinguishes it from commonly treated opals on the market.

When comparing this piece to other opals offered by many dealers, several superior points emerge, making it an excellent choice for both investment and fine jewelry use. Unlike typical white opals that can look washed out or lack saturation, this specimen presents an unusually intense play of color for a translucent White Opal, a trait often associated with rarer crystal or black opals, yet delivered here in a lighter ground that offers versatility in design. The freeform shape provides more usable surface area per carat than standard rounds or ovals, allowing designers to showcase larger, uninterrupted areas of color, and the thin profile at 2.30 millimeters makes this stone ideal for low profile settings and contemporary designs. The eye clean clarity ensures the color patterns read clearly without distraction from inclusions, which is not always the case in stones of similar carat weight. Because there are no enhancements, you receive an authentic Australian opal with natural stability and predictable aging, unlike doublets, triplets, or infused stones that may require special care or show altered appearance over time. In terms of value, a natural, eye clean, intensely colored White Opal of this size and polish represents a superior buy, offering a rare combination of aesthetics, size, and provenance that many market alternatives do not match.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we focus on sourcing pieces that combine visual impact, craftsmanship, and integrity, and this opal exemplifies that approach. Its multi color flashes, excellent polish, and clean appearance make it a flexible centerpiece for bespoke jewelry, from elegant pendants to refined cocktail rings, and its Australian origin adds a trusted provenance that collectors value. For customers comparing options, this gem outperforms many mass market white opals by delivering stronger, more pleasing color, a natural state with no enhancements, and a freeform shape that enhances creativity in design.
