TITLE Royal Antwerp Gem Natural Ethiopian Crystal Opal 3.18 ct Oval Cabochon | Certified DESCRIPTION A natural crystal opal displaying a beautiful white body color with vivid play-of-colors. This gemstone weighs 3.18 carats and measures 12.99 x 10.00 x 5.33 mm, offering attractive proportions and a classic oval cabochon shape. The cabochon cut allows the opal to fully reveal its internal optical effects, producing flashes of green, orange, and other spectral colors depending on the angle of light. Crystal opals are valued for their transparency combined with strong play-of-color. This optical phenomenon occurs when light diffracts through the microscopic silica structure inside the opal, producing shifting colors across the surface of the stone. The gemstone displays lively iridescence and a bright appearance, making it suitable for rings, pendants, or collector pieces where the natural play of color becomes the main visual attraction. Photographs are taken under strong professional macro lighting to highlight the play-of-color and details of the gemstone, similar to viewing through a jeweler’s loupe. Because of magnification and lighting conditions, certain internal characteristics may appear more visible in photos than at normal viewing distance.
