Item Description

Boulder Opal is one of the most distinct and popular Opal varieties in the world. Australia is obviously the prolific producer of Opals in the world, especially since such a wide array of Opals are found there. This piece features beautiful patches of electric red, orange, gold, blue, green and purple Opal which are sitting within dark and light brown iron-rich Sandstone host rock. The vibrant color of the Opal against the dark background makes for a lovely specimen, which would make a great addition to your collection.
