Opal – 2.27 Carats, Red, Green and Blue in Constant Motion
Of all the colors an opal can show, red is the rarest. It is the color that collectors seek first, the one that separates a good opal from an exceptional one. This 2.27-carat opal shows red – alongside vivid green and deep blue – in a play-of-color that shifts and breathes with every movement of the stone.
The dimensions tell part of the story: 12.76 x 7.80 x 3.58 mm – broad, flat, and generous in its display surface. Opals reward surface area, and this stone has it. The colors do not hide in a deep pavilion; they spread across the face of the stone and make themselves known. Red draws the eye, green adds life, blue provides depth – together they create something that feels less like a gemstone and more like a window into something ancient.
The freeform cut honors what the stone already was. No geometric template was imposed, no shape forced. The cutter followed the natural boundaries of the material and revealed the play-of-color on its own terms. The result is an outline that belongs to this stone alone – and to no other.
There is no duplicate of this opal. There never will be.
