About This Pink Opal

Care and Use

Pink Opal sits at 5-5.5 on the Mohs scale, soft enough to scratch with a knife, so store it on its own and do not let it soak or sit in water. Sudden heat can crack it, so keep it away from stoves and radiators.

Do

  • Wipe With A Soft Dry Cloth
  • Store Stones Separately To Prevent Scratches

Avoid

  • Heat
  • Sudden Temperature Changes

Questions Before You Buy

Will I receive the exact stones in the photos?

Yes. These 9 stones are numbered 1 to 9 in the photos, and each is listed with its own measurements and carat weight.

How big are the cabochons?

They range from 28 to 52 mm on the longest side and total 264.5 carats, about 53 grams. One photo shows the whole lot drawn to scale against a millimeter ruler.

Is this real pink opal, and is it heated, dyed or treated?

Natural pink opal from Ica, Peru. Untreated. Natural pink opal shows soft, uneven color, sometimes with dark dendrites.

Will these fit standard settings?

These are cut freehand rather than to calibrated sizes, so match each stone's listed measurement to your setting.

Can I return a lot?

Cabochon lots are final sale. Every stone is pictured and measured so you know exactly what arrives.

What do the A, AA and AAA grades mean?

Grades reflect visual quality within a batch. A is standard, with typical inclusions. AA shows stronger color, cleaner surfaces and tighter sizing. AAA is the top 10 to 15 percent of a batch. Every stone is inspected and graded by our team in Rockville, Maryland, not taken on the supplier’s word.

Where does it come from, and how do you know?

This lot is from Ica, Peru. It came to us through an existing collection, one of the sourcing models we publish and stand behind.
