13.28 ct White Opal - Oval

This 13.28-carat opal is cut as an oval measuring 19.8 x 14.9 x 9.3 mm, with a white body color, sourced from Ethiopia.

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.

One of a kind, it exists exactly once; there is no second example to size up or down. It is the rarer object, and the kind of gemstone that becomes an heirloom. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
