Collected from the renowned opal fields surrounding Quilpie, Queensland, this natural boulder opal showcases a striking seam of precious opal running through its original ironstone host rock.
Bands of soft blue and green are accompanied by flashes of pink, violet and orange that shift with the light, while the surrounding ironstone preserves the stone exactly as it formed underground over millions of years. Rather than being cut into a polished gemstone, this specimen celebrates the natural relationship between the opal and the ancient rock that carries it.
Every angle reveals a different display of colour, making it equally suited as a collector’s specimen, display piece, or conversation starter.
