Boulder Opal Description

Brilliant red green orange matrix black boulder opals like this are really stunning opals from the Western Queensland Opal fields Small ironstone inclusions in the face testify to its natural origins.

The price of Opal, unlike many gemstones is influenced by supply and demand, not by international cartels who agree on price increases. Hence, opal is destined to go up in value as the supply becomes more restricted which is happening at present. The color of these stones is completely natural, in contrast to diamonds [for example] which depends on man-made facets to reflect the spectrum colors.

Boulder Opal Location

Boulder Opal is from Queensland and is also a variety of black opal if it is found with a dark or black background similar to Lightning Ridge Opal.
