Nearly two carats of opal at under four thousand rupees is a combination that makes people look twice. This 1.85 carat solid natural opal is listed at Rs. 3,750, about Rs. 2,027 per carat, which is a gentle rate and a good reason to ask for photos or video before deciding.

Reference GS-000578 will bring up its file when you message +92 308 887 3888. We can then share what we know about its colour display and any treatment; smoke and sugar-staining are practised on some opal, and thin glued doublets exist in the wider market, though we sell solid stones only.

Wear is the practical part. Opal sits at 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale, so it prefers a pendant or earrings to a daily ring, and it dislikes heat, dry air and ultrasonic cleaners. Wipe it with a damp soft cloth.

Opal is the October birthstone and, in Vedic astrology, is tied to Venus; treat both as tradition. If it disappoints, you have 7 days from delivery to return it. Browse alternatives in the opal range.

Under two carats, a stone like this sits neatly in a slim ring, a stud or a delicate pendant and does not snag on sleeves. It is also where many first-time buyers begin when a stone is recommended for astrological reasons, because the total cost stays modest.

On the Mohs scale opal rates 5.5 to 6.5. That is middle-of-the-road hardness: comfortable in pendants and earrings, and in rings worn with some care. Store it apart from harder stones so it does not pick up scratches, and wipe it with a damp cloth rather than scrubbing.

Whoever you buy opal from, make sure of three things: the stone is natural rather than lab-grown, glass or glass-filled; any treatment is stated in writing; and the weight quoted is the weight of the finished stone. We check every opal for those three points before it is listed, a certificate is available on request, and because you pay on delivery you can look at the stone — or have it tested — before any money changes hands.
