6.96 Ct. White Opal from Australia

This is a beautifully balanced White Opal from Australia, presented by The Natural Gemstone Company, weighing 6.96 carats, in an elegant oval shape, measuring 17.92 x 12.97 x 4.00 mm, with a tablet cut that shows broad flashes and a pleasing flat profile. The piece is a multi color opal, with a medium intense color intensity that reveals an attractive mix of reds, greens, blues and pinks across the surface, offering lively movement as the stone is turned. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that the minor internal characteristics are not distracting and add character rather than detract from the gem. The polish is excellent, producing crisp reflections and a smooth surface that enhances the stone s play of color. Please note this opal is a triplet enhanced piece, assembled to protect the opal layer and to intensify the color, and this construction adds stability while preserving the natural beauty of the Australian opal material.

Visually this oval tablet cut triplet presents a broad expanse of color that washes across the face of the gem, making it ideal for settings that maximize the viewing plane, such as pendants and cabochon style rings. The tablet cut gives a relatively flat top which is perfect for modern bezel settings and contemporary designs where a sleek silhouette is desired. As a triplet the opal has a layered construction, typically a thin precious opal layer capped with a clear dome and backed for protection, which enhances durability compared with thin doublets or solid thin opal slices. The medium intense play of color is pleasing under a variety of lighting conditions, showing concentrated flashes of color when caught by directional light, and a soft, iridescent wash in ambient light. The very slightly included clarity grade is consistent with natural materials and is visible only under close inspection, while the excellent polish ensures every facet of color is presented with clarity and elegance.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we present this 6.96 carat Australian White Opal triplet as an exceptional option for designers and collectors who want the look of vibrant opal color with reliable handling characteristics. For jewelry use I recommend secure bezel or custom protective settings that respect the triplet construction, avoid high impact exposure, and allow the opal to be admired from the top without subjecting the edges to unnecessary abrasion. Care for a triplet is straightforward, avoid prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals, clean gently with a soft damp cloth, and store separately to prevent scratching from harder stones. If you would like setting suggestions, complementary stone pairings, or custom design assistance, we will gladly provide guidance and imagery to help you envision the finished piece. Contact The Natural Gemstone Company for availability, exact matching options, and secure shipping, and let us assist you in making this finely polished Australian White Opal triplet part of a cherished piece of jewelry.
