I handpicked these Boulder Opals directly from a miner, Peter, whom I met at the Sydney Gem Show. I learnt that Australia produces around 90% of the world’s opal!!! And opal doesn’t really like water, so if you’re wearing opal jewellery, try to avoid water, as this can affect the stone over time.
These Boulder Opals are from Queensland, Australia, with their natural ironstone matrix on the back(see last photo). Each piece has its own unique layers, patterns and flashes of colour. I picked up 10 pieces and kept one for myself, other 9 are heading to the website tonight.
The camera really doesn’t do their flash justice, so I took a quick video under natural sunlight for you to see them a little better. Each one has its own beautiful flashes, layers and details that are so much better in person.
