The Natural Beauty of White Opal
White opal is appreciated for its light body tone, which may range from milky white to creamy or translucent shades. Depending on the individual gemstone, it can display mesmerizing flashes of color known as play-of-color.
These flashes may include shades of blue, green, orange, and red, creating a dynamic appearance as the stone moves under the light. The intensity and pattern of these colors vary naturally, giving every opal its own distinctive personality.
Elegant Pear Shape
The pear shape combines the rounded curves of an oval with a tapered point, creating a graceful drop-like silhouette. This design is particularly attractive in pendants and earrings, while also offering an elegant option for custom rings.
With a length of 19.1 mm and a width of 10 mm, this opal has an elongated appearance that can draw attention to its natural color and polished surface.
Smooth Cabochon Finish
The cabochon cut features a smooth, rounded surface rather than multiple flat facets. This traditional style is especially popular for opals because it showcases the gemstone's natural appearance and allows its visible color patterns to stand out.
The 7.75 mm depth gives the stone a substantial profile, making it a distinctive choice for a carefully designed jewelry setting.
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 wording does not necessarily guarantee that the stone has never been treated; a reputable gemological report can provide further confirmation.
The stated VS clarity grade suggests very slight inclusions under the grading system used. For opals, overall appearance, body tone, play-of-color, brightness, and pattern are also important factors when evaluating quality and desirability.
