8.71 Ct. Cabochon White Opal from Australia

This exquisite White Opal from Australia is an impressive 8.71 carat oval, measuring 17.45 by 14.21 by 7.16 mm, and presents as an attractive opaque stone with lively multi color play. The cabochon cut enhances the smooth domed surface and showcases the opal’s soft milk white body tone, while flashes of green, pink, and subtle blue dance across the surface as the light moves, reflecting medium color intensity and excellent polish. There are no enhancements, the gem is wholly natural, and the piece displays the classic gentle opalescence collectors and designers seek when working with White Opal. The balance of size and weight makes this opal ideal for a standout solitaire or an elegant center stone flanked by smaller accent gems, and its clean dome and symmetrical oval outline speak to careful cutting and finishing.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we pride ourselves on sourcing and presenting natural gemstones that combine aesthetic appeal with integrity, and this Australian White Opal is a fine example of that commitment. Its 8.71 carat size and pleasing oval proportions lend themselves beautifully to custom ring settings, pendants, or artisan brooch designs, and the cabochon profile will show off the shifting colors best in bezel or soft prong mountings that protect the surface while allowing maximum light interaction. For care, avoid prolonged exposure to heat and harsh chemicals, remove the opal before strenuous activity, and clean gently with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and steam, to preserve the stone’s polish and play of color. If you would like an independent certificate, professional mounting options, or detailed photos and video under different lighting to evaluate the color play, our team at The Natural Gemstone Company is ready to assist you, and we can advise on design ideas to complement the stone’s natural charm. This White Opal is a refined, natural gem with character and versatility, perfect for a unique heirloom piece or a special commission, please contact us for availability and pricing and let us help you bring this luminous stone into your collection.
