0.74 ct White Opal - Oval

At 0.74 carats, this opal from Australia carries its white color through an oval cut, measuring 8 x 6 x 2.7 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. Australia is a major commercial gem source, best known for its opal and sapphire. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

A natural opal small enough to wear every day and real enough to mean it, not a lab stone and not glass. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
