AUSTRALIAN BOULDER OPAL
Our Boulder Opal are left natural,
as created by Nature.
Any crack or porosity in the rock has not
been filled with resin or other compound.
An approximate size of each stone
can be estimated by the grid size
of the section which each stone is inside.
Grid sizes vary from lot to lot.
One firm tap on the thin blue seam of Opal, in this somewhat less attractive looking stone, and it splits into two pieces.
Opal is like ordinary glass, so it broke nicely along the seam. (Photos taken afterwards)
But unlike glass, there was nothing ordinary about Nature’s handiwork exposed...
It is hard to believe that this multitude of colours were hidden inside this even less than ordinary looking cut stone, camouflaged by a thin strip of just plain blue Opal.
And; it is quite magical how the thin sliver of Opal on each half is able to generate such a variety of colours by just a few slight movements.
But then again; that’s the Magic of OPAL… Australian Boulder Opal, to be precise…!!!
