Solid Australian White Opal cabochons
Gorgeous solid white Opal cabochons, available in various shapes and sizes. Opal is a truly classic gemstone and makes gorgeous jewellery.
A solid Opal cabochon is typically seen as more of an investment than a doublet or triplet cabochon, but honestly, it all depends on the size and grade.
Opal is a soft stone, and despite its looks and historical use, is not ideal for jewellery making. Special care should be taken to protect the stone; jewellery should be designed in a manner which protects the stone. In addition, Opals should be kept away from chemicals and water where possible - use as a ring is not recommended.
This must be made clear to your customer. While this Opal is all Australian and should not react with water, it is best working practice to recommend that it is not submerged or drenched with water or chemicals like bleach, detergents, etc.
Currently, all of our white Opal stock is from Australia. These pieces are perfect for rings and necklaces or earrings.
These cabochons are sold singly, but we do offer discounts for bulk purchases.
Our grading is done in natural sunlight, with the quality varying between:
- Grade AA - bright flash visible from most angles in daylight.
- Grade A - bright flash visible from several angles in daylight.
- Grade B - less bright flash, or a bright flash with inclusions.
- Grade C - minimal flash, pinprick fire, or a reasonable flash but with inclusions.
As a light stone, these pieces have a classy look in lighter metals and a nice contrast with antiqued or metals with a patina.
