Teal green and cyan blue roll across this 1.08 ct crystal opal oval, with small warmer orange flashes appearing as the stone turns. Its cool palette and rounded cabochon profile give it a balanced, understated look.

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

1.08 ct, confirmed by the scale photograph. Approximate dimensions are 7 × 6 × 4 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 very small natural sand inclusion on the face is difficult to see with the naked eye.

Material and cutting history

Natural, solid, untreated Australian opal, cut from rough by The Opal Ledger. No laboratory report accompanies this stone.

This is one loose stone, supplied without a setting. The approved asking price is $895 USD, excluding tax and shipping. It is an asking price, not a certified appraisal or a guaranteed sale value.

Follow the cool colors through the turn

TOL-0013’s main visual story is teal-green and cyan-blue movement across a rounded oval. The small warmer orange moments are secondary. That balance gives you a useful way to review the record: follow the cool display first rather than looking for a dominant warm-color field that is not being claimed.

Use the original sequence to identify the orientation you like and watch what happens when the stone moves away from it. Compare that behavior with the sharp face and oblique photographs. The favorite frame and the quieter view both belong to the same gem.

The cover image’s orientation is a presentation choice, not a mandatory setting direction. If you prefer one end uppermost or a particular tilt, explain that to the jeweler. The finished design should be considered around the actual stone and your preference, not around an assumption that all ovals behave alike.

Understand what the record does and does not measure

The scale photograph supports the recorded 1.08 ct mass. The analog caliper photographs support approximate 7 × 6 × 4 mm dimensions, rounded to whole millimeters, and are retained for review. Neither these rounded readings, the cover crop, nor the stone’s position on a hand establishes a precision fit.

For a setting, request direct measurement and physical inspection before final approval. Ask about the outline, dome, back, and perimeter, not only maximum length. A general “oval cabochon” description is useful vocabulary, but it is not an exact fit specification.

A very small natural sand inclusion on the face is difficult to see with the naked eye. This is the cutter’s specific condition disclosure for this stone.

Preserve the provenance wording

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 natural, untreated, solid one-piece description likewise remains a seller declaration based on the recorded acquisition and cutting history. This article does not introduce an independent laboratory finding or turn the supplier name into certification.

If documentary origin or treatment evidence is central to your purchase, ask what is available before checkout. It is better to identify that requirement early than to assume a printed ID card answers it.

For a collector or a jewelry project

A collector can use the complete gallery to decide whether the cool palette and viewing behavior are the main attraction. Keep the scale image, disclosures, and permanent ID with the stone so that the record remains usable beyond its current website presentation.

For jewelry, share the full TOL-0013 record with the intended setter and discuss the preferred appearance in the proposed mounting. Ask what the professional needs to inspect before accepting the work. A rendering or preliminary conversation is not a substitute for evaluating the physical gem.

The offer includes one loose stone. Budget for any mounting and work separately, and confirm the current marketplace transaction terms. The $895 asking price is not an independent appraisal or a promise of future sale value.

Is orange the dominant display?

No. The recorded main palette is teal-green and cyan-blue, with secondary warmer flashes at some angles. Watch the full sequence to decide whether that is the display you want.

Can I choose a mounting by the 1.08 ct weight?

No. The weight helps identify the stone, but the exact dimensions and profile must be assessed for the proposed fit.

Where is the current offer?

The complete stone record connects the media, disclosures, and marketplace destination. Use that exact destination to confirm availability and checkout terms.
