0.99 ct Colorless Opal - Oval

At 0.99 carats, this opal from Ethiopia carries its colorless face through an oval cut, measuring 10.2 x 6.4 x 3.1 mm.

Opal is hydrated silica that can break white light into a play of living color, a fire no two stones repeat; it holds up to a fifth of its weight in water, which is why it glows in a way nothing crystalline does. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

A genuine opal at a size and price you can actually wear, the real thing rather than a machine-grown copy. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
