Product description

The exquisite opal offered by The Natural Gemstone Company is a magnificent example of natural beauty and craftsmanship. This semi-transparent gemstone weighs 5.98 carats and is elegantly shaped into a cabochon oval, measuring precisely 15.02 x 11.19 x 7.08 mm. Its origins trace back to Ethiopia, a region renowned for producing some of the world's most extraordinary opals. This particular opal is classified as a Crystal or Jelly Opal, known for its unique ability to refract light into a full spectrum of colors that dance vividly across its surface. The cabochon cut enhances its natural radiance by rounding its form, allowing light to move unhindered within and revealing the intricate play-of-color for which opals are celebrated.

Comparable to the legendary gemstones of antiquity, this opal carries with it both a historical allure and a contemporary elegance. Like the Black Prince's Ruby, which was treasured for its rich color and luster, this opal exhibits intense color intensity. Each hue within the stone tells a distinct narrative, drawing the observer into a captivating kaleidoscope of reds, greens, and blues. This extraordinary color spectrum is a hallmark of Ethiopian opals, setting them apart from others due to their unique geological composition.

Furthermore, the clarity of this opal is evaluated at a very slightly included level, which, when appraised at eye level, signifies minimal inclusions that do not detract from its aesthetics. This clarity ensures that its primary attributes—the opalescent display and vibrant hues—remain unobstructed. The excellence of its polish further accentuates these qualities, providing a smooth, mirror-like surface that highlights the exuberant play-of-color and the depth of the gemstone.

Ethiopian opals, particularly those classified as Crystal or Jelly Opals, are often likened to the rare moonstones and mythic pearls of lore due to their translucent characteristics. Yet, they stand superior in terms of their vivid chromatic expressions. The celebrated Hope Diamond, known for its deep blue saturation, lacks the multifaceted color variations that a quality opal, such as this one from The Natural Gemstone Company, effortlessly showcases.

In sum, the multi-color opal presented here offers an unparalleled blend of beauty, significance, and rarity. It possesses not only the artistic appeal found in gemstones that grace royal collections but also an irreproducible natural wonder that makes each opal unique. The Natural Gemstone Company invites you to explore this dazzling spectacle of color and light, carefully crafted by nature and refined by skilled artisans, ensuring that this opal remains a timeless heirloom for future generations to cherish.
