14.07 Ct. Boulder Opal from Australia

At The Natural Gemstone Company we are pleased to present a striking Boulder Opal that captures the dramatic beauty and natural artistry of Australian opal formation. This piece is an opaque 14.07 carat freeform shaped opal, cut in a tablet style to showcase broad flashes and layered color. The stone measures 31.30 by 13.00 by 4.40 mm, and it carries an intense color intensity with a vivid multi color play that ranges from deep cobalt blues to vivid greens and hints of magenta and red. The surface displays an excellent polish, and the stone is untreated with no enhancement, offering collectors and designers an authentic example of premium Australian opal in its most natural and elegant state.

Visually the gem is a conversation starter, with a fluid pattern that shifts across the tablet cut as it catches light. The freeform silhouette emphasizes the stone body and the natural flow of the color patches, allowing the darker opal background to accentuate the brighter flame like streaks and peacock tones. Because this is a Boulder Opal it retains a sense of the host rock integration, providing subtle depth and contrast that lends the gem stability and a uniquely organic presence. The intense color saturation is apparent across the surface, and the excellent polish enhances the stone clarity and luster, ensuring that each movement reveals new facets of color and internal fire that will be admired in any setting.

Design and setting possibilities for this Boulder Opal are numerous, and the stone is particularly well suited to bespoke jewellery where its freeform character can be celebrated. The tablet cut and generous length make it ideal for a statement pendant that allows the colors to play uninterrupted, or for a modern asymmetric ring where the elongated shape flatters the finger. The 4.40 mm thickness gives enough depth for secure bezels or partial prong work, and the opal’s natural matrix contrast lends itself to mixed metal designs where yellow gold, white gold, or sterling silver can be used to highlight different tones. For designers seeking a striking central stone, pairing this opal with small accent diamonds or colored sapphires can intensify its range of colors without detracting from the opal’s central visual narrative. For everyday wear care is straightforward, avoid harsh chemicals, abrupt temperature changes, and prolonged drying under strong heat, gently clean with a soft cloth and mild soapy water when needed to preserve the polish and color intensity.

Choosing this Boulder Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company means selecting a genuine Australian gem with documented characteristics that support both its aesthetic appeal and its long term value. With no enhancement and a clear origin from Australia, this piece stands as a testament to the geological rarity and artisan skill involved in cutting and polishing opal in tablet form. Collectors will appreciate the 14.07 carat weight and the comfortable proportions of 31.30 by 13.00 by 4.40 mm, while jewellers will value the stable characteristics that make custom settings straightforward. We are available to discuss bespoke mounting options, provide close up imagery and lighting advice for design visualization, and certify the stone details upon request. If you are seeking a one of a kind Boulder Opal that combines vivid color play, expert polish, authentic provenance, and versatile design potential, this gem is an exceptional choice.
