Description from the seller
This exceptional piece of Boulder Opal captivates with its strong and high-contrast play of colors. Luminous areas in blue, turquoise and green weave through the dark, iron-rich host rock and stand out especially intensely depending on the incidence of light. In places, fine opal veins extend far into the rock, giving the piece a very primal character.
Particularly appealing is the strong contrast between the earthy brown of the host rock and the almost electrically vivid opal colors. The partly exposed opal areas also nicely show how the opal grew within the rock.
Metaphysically, opal is regarded as a stone of inspiration and creativity. It is said to foster emotions and joie de vivre and to support one’s own expressiveness.
