Click here to see a short video about the opal
This dazzling and incredibly rare Australian opal, found in Australia, exhibits an unprecedented range of colours. This particular opal is also known as boulder opal. This type of opal is extracted from large iron stones underground. In the cracks and fissures of these stones, thin veins of opal form. Because these veins are so thin, it is key for opal cutters to leave the iron on the back of the opal in this case. This not only gives the opal a lot of resistance to damage, but this way they can also shape the stone to full size. In addition, this opal is extremely suitable as an addition to any collection.
