Boulder Opal is a fascinating gemstone that combines the vibrant beauty of opal with the strength of its natural matrix rock. Opal is embedded in the sandstone or ironstone matrix and is often cut with it as part of the gem.
Boulder Opal exhibits a stunning play of color that can include iridescent shades of blue, green, red, gold and purple, standing out against an earthy background of dark brown or black from its matrix rock. This combination creates unique patterns and amazing contrasts.
Each piece is unique, which is why it cannot be used for mass production of jewelry. Especially appreciated for its distinctive character and unrepeatable patterns.
Pieces are often cut in freeform in order to take advantage of the color vein.
It’s a perfect fusion of nature and art.
