AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The boulder opal in the picture is a unique example of opal formation in ironstone (boulder). The opal displays an intense play of colors with vivid red, green, blue, and violet hues embedded in a golden-brown, iron-rich stone. Boulder opals form in cracks and fissures of iron-rich rocks, where the opalescent material deposits. The image shows how the natural matrix of ironstone runs through the opal band, highlighting the luminous colors of the opal.
The structure is typical for Boulder Opals, as the opal layers are often irregularly distributed within the iron-rich matrix. The contrast between the vibrant, luminous colors and the dark, sturdy matrix makes Boulder Opals particularly valuable and sought after. The opal in the picture has been carefully polished to emphasize its brilliant color diversity, while preserving the natural contours of the stone.
Boulder Opals like these are mainly mined in Queensland, Australia, and are equally popular among collectors and jewelry designers due to their unique play of colors and durability.
