Green-Blue Crystal Opal Oval — 0.825 ct — Face view — exact stone in the supplied lighting. — Face view — exact stone in the supplied lighting.

Vivid green and blue flash across this 0.825 ct crystal opal oval, with orange and warmer color along the flank. Its display shifts as the stone turns, giving the small cabochon a lively multicolor character.

A still photograph shows one moment of its color display. The full muted original recording shows the opal moving through different angles, including quieter views. No color enhancement, relighting, cropping, speed change, or stabilization was applied to the video.

The exact-stone record

0.825 ct, confirmed by the scale photograph. Approximate dimensions are 7 × 6 × 3 mm (length × width × thickness), read from the metric caliper scales and rounded to whole millimeters. The record includes several face and oblique views, three caliper photographs, and the original rotation video. These photo-derived dimensions are not precision measurements; any setting should be fitted to the actual stone.

A natural sand inclusion is present on the back and flank; the cutter confirms there are no cavities. A suitably designed setting may conceal the inclusion, depending on its design.

What makes TOL-0007 worth a closer look

The appeal here is the relationship between the cool face-up display and the warmer flank. Green and blue provide the main introduction; the orange is a reason to watch the stone turn rather than judge it only from the cover photograph. The title should not be read as a promise of dominant orange across the face in every view.

Compare the full oval in the still images before zooming into a bright patch. Then follow the flank through the original movement sequence. Decide which orientation you prefer and how the stone appears when it moves away from that position. This is a small exact-stone study, not a claim that the gem has one fixed appearance.

If you favor compact stones with a changing cool-and-warm display, this record may be an interesting candidate. If you require a broad, continuously warm face-up field, ask whether the shown behavior meets that preference before proceeding. The distinction is aesthetic, not a judgment that one preference is better.

The back and flank belong in the story

The feature on the back and flank is a natural sand inclusion. The cutter confirms that it does not include open cavities. A suitably designed setting may conceal it; coverage depends on the mounting. Keep the reverse view and this brief disclosure with the stone record.

Purchase and cutting history

The Opal Ledger purchased the rough directly from Tikka Opals at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show, then cut this stone from that material.

The Lightning Ridge declaration remains distinct from the purchase location and supplier name. Tucson identifies the reported transaction setting, not the geological origin. No independent laboratory report is being introduced through this article.

Before making it into jewelry

Give your jeweler the TOL-0007 record, the 0.825 ct scale image, the approximate 7 × 6 × 3 mm dimensions, all profile views, and the back-feature disclosure. The three analog caliper photographs remain available as the source of those rounded estimates. Ask the professional to measure and assess the actual stone before approving fit.

Discuss the preferred color orientation and intended wearing routine separately from the shape name. An oval outline alone does not establish compatibility with a stock mounting. This offer includes the loose stone, not a ring, pendant, or approved setting design.

Is the orange the main color?

The recorded main display is green and blue, with warmer color along the flank. Use the movement sequence to judge whether that balance suits you.

Does the scale image verify the other claims?

No. It supports the recorded mass of the shown stone. Construction, treatment, origin, and condition retain their separately stated evidence levels.

Where do I confirm the purchase details?
