5.55 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

A single treasure like this pear shaped, multi color white opal announces a rare moment for the discerning collector, and The Natural Gemstone Company is proud to present a gem that reads like a private chapter in the history of fine jewelry. This translucent 5.55 carat opal glows with an intense, lively play of color that shimmers across a delicate white opal body, creating flashes of green, blue, pink, and fire when it moves in light. The pear shape offers a classic silhouette that feels both feminine and architectural, and the cabochon cut enhances the gem clarity and the unique internal opalescence that makes each viewing a fresh experience. Sourced from Australia, the birthplace of many of the worlds most coveted opals, this gem carries geological provenance that matters to true connoisseurs, and with no enhancement, its natural character is untouched and authentic.

For those who seek exacting specifications, this opal measures 5.00 x 4.00 x 1.50 mm, and carries an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, which means the surface and internal features are free from inclusions visible to the unaided eye. The intense color intensity is matched by an excellent polish, giving the stone a silky, luminous surface that appears to glow from within. At 5.55 carats, this pear shaped opal occupies a very select tier where size and optical performance converge to produce a focal gem worthy of custom design. The cabochon cut is traditional for opal, chosen deliberately to maximize color flash and to present a smooth domed surface that invites both touch and admiration. Enhancement, no enhancement, confirms that what you see is the genuine expression of nature, polished and refined by skilled hands but otherwise left in its original state.

Imagine this opal set into a ring, a pendant, or a brooch designed with intention and restraint, to become the heart of an heirloom piece that moves through generations. A ring made to comfortable proportions will allow daily wear while preserving the structural integrity of the gem, and a pendant offered on a solid yet elegant chain will protect the stone while showcasing its dance of color. An heirloom is more than a pretty object, it is a carrier of stories, memories, and identity, and this white opal is especially suited to that role because of its timeless palette and natural origin. As the years pass, the opal will gather history, each scratch and repolish becoming part of its biography, and each generation will discover the same shifting rainbows that made the first owner fall in love.
