Opal Cabochon - Height: 9 mm - Width: 9 mm- 0.45 g - (1)

An opal cabochon is a polished gemstone cut with a smooth, rounded surface that enhances the stone’s play of color without any facets. Opal is a hydrated silica mineral celebrated for its unique optical phenomenon called 'play-of-color,' where flashes of rainbow hues appear within the stone as it moves in the light. The cabochon shape is traditionally used for opals to best display this iridescence while protecting the delicate stone from damage. Measuring approximately 9 millimeters in height and width and weighing 0.45 grams, this opal cabochon is suitable for setting into rings, earrings, or pendants. Opals have been highly valued throughout history for their beauty and symbolic associations with creativity and inspiration. Due to their unique internal colors, no two opals are exactly alike, making each cabochon a unique treasure.
