White gemstone (4)
I believe the answer is:
opal
'white gemstone' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for opal that I've seen before include "Shimmering stone" , "raw material" , "National gemstone of Australia" , "Gem with delicate colours" , "Delicately-coloured gem" .)
