About the Item
This exceptional 116-carat Boulder Opal from Queensland, Australia, displays a mesmerizing play of color with vivid flashes of electric blue, green, and fiery orange coursing through its natural ironstone host. Expertly polished to reveal its intricate, web-like patterning, this gem is a masterwork of natural artistry. The contrast between the brilliant opal veins and the rich brown matrix gives this specimen extraordinary depth and visual texture.
A rare find even among fine opals, this Australian treasure is perfect for discerning collectors or for creating a bespoke jewelry piece of museum-grade distinction. Its durability and vibrant color play – hallmarks of Queensland Boulder Opals – ensure that this gem captivates under any light.
This is not just an opal: It’s a living canvas of geological beauty, frozen in stone and millions of years in the making.
