Coral Bay Drift ~ A Whisper of Light and Sea

A Gentle Radiance

This solid Australian opal, softly triangular in form, glows with the quiet beauty of coastal dawn. Its surface shimmers with translucent blues, seafoam greens, and delicate coral pinks that seem to drift beneath the surface like sunlight rippling through shallow water over pale sand. Every glance reveals a new layer of serenity.

The Stone

Cut in a freeform shape that follows its natural contour, this opal captures the essence of movement and calm. Its soft polish enhances the play-of-colour while preserving the gem’s organic flow. Perfect for setting in gold or silver, it promises to become a centrepiece that feels both modern and timeless.

The Allure of Australian Opals

Mined from the heart of Australia’s opal fields, each solid opal is a fragment of the earth’s long story. Over millions of years, silica and water have fused to create these glowing tapestries of light. Coral Bay Drift reflects that legacy, a gem born of patience, pressure, and time.

Crafted with Care

At Iona Opal Australia, every opal is shaped and polished by hand, with close attention to its natural grain and tone. For this piece, the aim was to enhance the tranquil play-of-colour while keeping the gem’s soft, coastal character intact.

Care & Styling Tips

Store separately from harder stones.
Avoid exposure to high heat or harsh chemicals.
When set, pair with light metals or ocean-inspired palettes to bring out its subtle hues.

A Stone of Calm

Coral Bay Drift feels like holding a piece of the shoreline gentle, luminous, and endlessly shifting. A reminder of peaceful tides and the soft glow of morning light.
