0.55ct Lightning Ridge Crystal Opal | N7 Tone, B2 | Violet Broadflash | Australian Solid Opal

​Description:
Sourced from the historic opal fields of Lightning Ridge, Australia, this 0.55-carat solid Crystal Opal shows an N7 body tone with full transparency that gives the stone a clear, glass-like internal character. The stone displays a violet-dominant play-of-colour in a soft, floating broadflash pattern that activates gently across the crown.

​Hand-cut into a round organic freeform shape with a professional polish, this stone offers a balanced face footprint but a relatively shallow 2.28mm depth, making it best suited to a custom bespoke jewellery design. ​

​Please note: Because this stone is highly transparent, a prominent patch of natural tan sand and potch located on the reverse side is clearly visible through the internal crystal structure, acting as a permanent visual interruption to the face-up colour coverage. In strict accordance with Opal House Australia integrity standards, a combined 55% commercial deduction has been permanently integrated into this retail valuation to account for this highly visible facial interruption. By accurately identifying and deducting for these natural characteristics, we can offer this genuine Lightning Ridge Crystal Opal at a disciplined, integrity-backed retail price.

1.00ct Coober Pedy Light Crystal Opal | N8 Tone, B3 Brightness | Green, Blue & Orange Rolling Flash | Australian Solid Opal

​Description:
Sourced from the renowned opal fields of Coober Pedy, South Australia, this 1.00-carat solid Light Crystal Opal shows an N8-N9 light body tone with visible translucency that gives the stone a glowing internal character. The stone displays an active rolling flash pattern with vibrant green, blue, and orange play-of-colour covering approximately 75% to 80% of the face. In motion, the colour moves energetically across the crown, giving the stone a lively and dynamic presentation despite its natural commercial interruptions.

​Hand-cut into a unique, low-profile square organic freeform shape with a professional polish, this stone offers a highly bespoke silhouette. With a depth of 2.70mm, it is best suited to a custom bezel-set pendant or a specialized one-of-a-kind jewellery design that can accommodate its specific proportions.

​Please note: Under close inspection, this stone shows visible sand and iron matrix inclusions around the edges that sweep onto the face, along with a mild internal milkiness that slightly softens the overall crystal openness. In strict accordance with Opal House Australia integrity standards, a combined 55% commercial deduction has been permanently integrated into this retail valuation to account for these natural inclusions, the slight loss of transparency, and the stone’s irregular freeform make. By accurately identifying and deducting for these structural and visual features, we can offer this genuine Coober Pedy Light Crystal Opal at a disciplined, integrity-backed retail price.

​Hand-cut into an organic tapered triangle profile, this stone has a distinctive natural shape suited to one-of-a-kind jewellery.

​Please note: This stone shows the soft, milky character typical of lighter Coober Pedy material, with colour performance that remains gentle rather than broad or high-intensity. In strict accordance with Opal House Australia integrity standards, a combined retail deduction of 10% has been integrated into the final valuation to reflect the commercial implications of the stone’s natural tapered freeform make and bespoke setting profile. This creates an accessible entry point into genuine Coober Pedy White Opal while maintaining honest retail positioning consistent with the stone’s true visual class.
