7.92 Ct. Cabochon Crystal/Jelly Opal from Ethiopia

Presenting a rare and exquisite Crystal Jelly Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a one of a kind 7.92 carat pear shape multi color opal that immediately captures the eye with its lively play of color. This gem measures 15.51 x 14.36 x 1.00 mm, and has been skillfully fashioned into a smooth cabochon cut to maximize its internal fire and chatoyancy, clarity graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, with intense color intensity and an excellent polish that produces a satiny reflective surface. Although classified as a Crystal Jelly Opal, this particular specimen presents an opaque to jelly like body that gives it a warm, enveloping depth, a look that is both modern and timeless. There has been no enhancement to this stone, and its origin is Ethiopia, a source renowned for yielding opals with vivid and varied color play. The combination of a substantial 7.92 carat weight and an elegant pear silhouette makes this opal an outstanding candidate for a signature ring, a striking pendant, or a bespoke commission piece, showcasing both size and vibrancy in a wearable format.

Visually this opal offers a beautiful mosaic of colors that shift and glow as the light moves, soft rosy pink fields blending into flashes of fiery red and citrus green, with occasional golden highlights that seem to float beneath the surface. The cabochon dome has been cut and polished to emphasize the internal color patches, allowing the play of color to remain visible from multiple angles, which is particularly important for the pear shape that can present different personalities when rotated. At just 1.00 mm thick the profile is delicately low, making it ideal for designs that sit close to the skin or for pendant settings where comfort and silhouette are priorities, while still retaining a generous face up appearance thanks to its wide 15.51 x 14.36 mm spread. The eye clean clarity ensures that the visual impact is all about the color rather than inclusions, and the intense color intensity delivers a presence that reads much larger than the carat weight alone. For secure mounting we recommend a protective bezel or a low prong setting to shelter the slender edge, and pairing it with warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold can enhance the honeyed and rosy tones, while a white metal setting will bring forward the greener flashes for a contemporary contrast.
