Known for its soft appearance and unique natural characteristics, white opal is a captivating gemstone for collectors, jewelry designers, and anyone who appreciates the charm of fine gemstones.
Measuring 15.96 × 13.37 × 7.3 mm, this opal features a balanced pear-shaped profile with graceful curves and a distinctive tapered point. Its proportions make it a versatile choice for custom jewelry, offering an appealing combination of elegance and presence.
Gemstone Specifications
Stone: White Opal
Weight: 6.76 carats
Dimensions: 15.96 × 13.37 × 7.3 mm
Treatment: No Indication of Treatment
Shape: Pear
Type: Cabochon
Clarity: VS
The Timeless Appeal of White Opal
White opal is admired for its light body tone, which can range from milky white to creamy or translucent shades. Depending on the individual stone, it may display beautiful flashes of color known as play-of-color.
These flashes can reveal shades of blue, green, orange, and red as the gemstone catches the light. The color intensity and pattern vary naturally, making each opal distinct and giving it an individual character.
Graceful Pear Shape
The pear shape combines the rounded outline of an oval with a tapered tip, creating a graceful drop-like silhouette. Its balanced proportions give this gemstone a versatile appearance that works beautifully in pendants, earrings, and statement rings.
With a length of 15.96 mm and a width of 13.37 mm, this opal has a relatively broad profile that can help showcase its surface and any visible color patterns.
Smooth Cabochon Finish
The cabochon style features a smooth, polished surface rather than traditional gemstone facets. This finish is particularly popular for opals because it emphasizes their natural appearance and allows any visible play-of-color to take center stage.
The 7.3 mm depth gives the gemstone a substantial profile, making it suitable for a carefully designed setting that complements its shape and proportions.
Treatment and Clarity
This gemstone is listed as having no indication of treatment, meaning no evidence of treatment was indicated in the assessment provided. This description should not be interpreted as an absolute guarantee that the gemstone has never undergone treatment.
