1.34 Ct. White Opal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent 1.34 carat oval shape rhodolite garnet, dimensions 8.14 x 6.13 x 3.31 mm, exhibits an intense pinkish purple hue, a mixed brilliant cut, a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, no enhancement. The mixed brilliant cut combines faceting patterns that emphasize both internal scintillation and face up color, producing a balanced presentation of sparkle and saturation in this size. The clarity description very very slightly included conveys that inclusions are minimal and not readily apparent to the unaided eye, allowing clean light transmission and strong facet contrast. The polished facet junctions and symmetry preserve optimal light return, making the gem well suited for a ring or pendant setting where both table face up presence and side facet fire are important. For consideration of complementary stones, White Opal is available as an accent option, offering a soft, milky ground with subtle play of color that contrasts with the rhodolite garnet while maintaining a harmonious color palette. The Natural Gemstone Company provides this stone with full transparency on origin and treatment, confirming that the specimen is natural and untreated.

Under natural daylight this rhodolite garnet presents its truest intense pinkish purple, with daylight rendering cool undertones and high saturation that emphasize the stone's even color distribution. In strong direct sunlight the mixed brilliant cut produces lively scintillation, and small flashes of spectral dispersion will be noticeable at facet junctions due to the sharp polish. Under incandescent light the warmth of the light source shifts perception toward a deeper, warmer purple with pink highlights, enhancing the sense of depth and richness. Under modern LED lighting the balance between brilliance and color remains, with whites tending to increase visible sparkle while preserving the intense hue, particularly under neutral to slightly warm LEDs. Fluorescent lighting can mute some of the warmer notes and emphasize the pink cooler side, though the excellent polish and clean clarity maintain good light return and sparkle. Overall the combination of intense color, mixed brilliant faceting, and high polish ensures consistent presence across typical lighting environments, making the stone versatile for a variety of jewelry settings.
