About Andamooka Opal

Andamooka has been a significant opal-producing region since the 1930s and is famous for its matrix opal and fine light opals. Light opal — also known as crystal or semi-crystal opal depending on transparency — is prized for its luminous body tone that allows play-of-colour to appear to glow from deep within the stone. At 3.85 carats, this is a substantial, high-quality stone with excellent presence for a finished jewellery piece.

Jewellery Ready

This cabochon has been professionally polished and is ready to be set directly into a ring, pendant, brooch, or earring. Its generous carat weight makes it an ideal centrepiece stone for a statement piece of bespoke jewellery.

Care Instructions

Opal contains water and should be protected from extreme heat, prolonged dryness, and sudden temperature changes. Store in a padded box. Clean gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners, steam, and harsh chemicals.
