~0.6ct Pacific Blue Opal | Oval Cabochon | 6 × 8 mm | Gemdrop® Verified
Experience the captivating beauty of this ~0.6 carat (6 × 8 mm) Oval Cabochon lab-grown Pacific Blue opal. Beautifully polished to a smooth cabochon finish, this gem displays luminous flashes of ocean blue and tropical turquoise that shift and dance as it catches the light, making every viewing angle unique.
Lab-grown opals are real opals. They possess the same chemical composition (hydrated silica, SiO₂·nH₂O), internal structure, and optical phenomenon of play-of-colour as natural precious opal. The only difference is their origin.
Every Gemdrop® gem is individually scientifically verified and permanently recorded within the Gemdrop Verification Database, providing complete transparency and confidence in exactly what you are purchasing.
A REAL OPAL. CREATED THROUGH SCIENCE.
This gem was produced using advanced laboratory methods that carefully replicate the microscopic silica sphere structure responsible for precious opal's remarkable optical effects. Manufactured within one of the world's leading high-technology gem-growing laboratories, these opals exhibit exceptional colour stability, consistency, and outstanding visual performance.
The resulting material is genuine precious opal—not glass, resin, or an imitation—and displays authentic play-of-colour created by the diffraction of light through its highly ordered internal structure.
PACIFIC BLUE. OCEANIC BRILLIANCE.
Pacific Blue opal displays a refreshing blend of ocean blues and tropical turquoise tones, evoking the colours of crystal-clear tropical waters with bright, luminous flashes of blue. The classic Oval Cabochon maximises the visibility of the gem's play-of-colour, making it an exceptional choice for rings, pendants, earrings and bespoke jewellery.
With a Mohs hardness of approximately 5.5–6.5, opal is best suited to jewellery that receives moderate wear. Its remarkable optical beauty makes it one of the world's most distinctive and fascinating gem materials.
