Ask Peter About This Item
Boulder opal specimen that has been split out of the rock, producing a sheet of naturally polished color. Pieces like this are rare collector鈥檚 items because boulder opal only comes from one area on the planet, and that is western Queensland, Australia. Because of the price of fuel, it is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to find this opal, which gives an indication as to the value of these specimens. If you don鈥檛 have a chunk of boulder opal in your collection, you are really missing out.
