0.26 ct White Opal - Marquise

This 0.26-carat opal is cut as a marquise measuring 8.1 x 4.2 x 1.3 mm, with a white body color, sourced from Australia.

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. Australia is a major commercial gem source, best known for its opal and sapphire. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

A natural opal small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
