5.35 Ct. White Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a striking White Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a translucent, multi color gem that captures attention with serene, shifting flashes of color. This 5.35 carat oval is crafted in a tablet cut that offers a broad, flat face to showcase the opal play in full. The visual effect is soothing and lively at once, with predominantly green and aqua flashes that dance gently as the stone moves in light. The overall presence of the gem reads as elegant and wearable, large enough to serve as the focal point of a fine piece, yet subtle enough to pair with other stones or metals. If you are seeking an opal that brings both a calm inner glow and a lively surface play, this piece will reward you each time it is seen.

For those who appreciate specifics, this gem measures 15.81 x 10.79 x 4.92 mm, and weighs 5.35 carats, a generous size for an opal that will look impressive set in a ring, pendant, or bespoke item. The tablet cut creates a broad face that emphasizes the opal body and the scattered, shimmering color patches, making the most of its medium intense color intensity. Clarity has been graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, so there are no distracting inclusions to the naked eye, and the polish is excellent, giving a smooth, glassy surface that enhances light return. This is a natural White Opal with no enhancements, sourced from Australia, bearing the provenance and quality that collectors and designers seek when choosing a truly natural gem.

When considering settings and care, this opal is versatile yet requires respect for its nature. Opal has a hardness in the mid range, so it is best worn in protective settings when used in rings, or showcased in pendants and earrings where impact is less likely. A bezel setting is ideal to protect the edges and secure the tablet cut profile, while a low profile prong or halo mount can also highlight the stone without exposing it to unnecessary knocks. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaning, and extended exposure to strong chemicals or household cleaners, do not expose the gem to sudden temperature changes, and clean it gently with a soft cloth and mild soap in lukewarm water, then dry carefully. These simple steps will preserve the polish and the subtle play of color that makes the opal special.
