1.43 Ct. Multi Color Cabochon White Opal (Light Opal) from Australia

This listing describes a natural White Opal, light opal variety, weighing 1.43 carats and cut to a pear shape cabochon. The stone measures 12.04 by 7.92 by 2.61 mm, and presents an opaque body with attractive multi color play of color across the surface. The cutting style is cabochon, with a smooth domed profile that emphasizes the internal color flashes. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the material exhibits medium color intensity and an excellent polish. No enhancements have been applied to this opal, and the origin is Australia, a well regarded source for fine light opal material.

This gem from The Natural Gemstone Company is described in objective terms to assist gemologists, designers, and discerning customers in assessment and planning for settings. The pear shape and cabochon cut are particularly suited to pendant applications where the opal can be shown face up, and the dimensions allow for secure bezel or prong mounting with minimal cutting. The medium intensity of color makes the play of color visible under typical indoor and outdoor lighting, while the very slightly included clarity means the visual impact is primarily the opal play. The absence of enhancement contributes to long term stability when standard care is observed, and standard opal handling recommendations apply, including avoiding sudden thermal shock, prolonged exposure to solvents, and impact against hard surfaces.
