Opal Cabochon- 3.23 g

An opal cabochon is a polished, convex gemstone cut that highlights the opal’s play-of-color — a phenomenon where flashes of rainbow-like hues appear as the stone moves in the light. Opals are hydrated silica minerals prized for this unique optical effect that arises from their internal microstructure, diffracting light into vivid colors. Weighing around 3.23 grams, this opal cabochon can be set in various types of jewelry such as rings or pendants. The cabochon cut is traditionally favored for opals because the smooth, rounded surface better showcases the shifting colors compared to faceted styles. Opals have been treasured since antiquity and continue to be admired for their mystical beauty and the individuality of each stone's color pattern.
