3.45 Ct. Boulder Opal from Australia

This is a stunning Australian Boulder Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company, a 3.45 carat, freeform shape specimen that captures vivid play of color with exceptional presence. Measuring 15.86 by 7.60 by 3.77 mm, the stone is presented in a tablet cut, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish, showing broad flashes of electric blue and luminous green that shimmer across the dark ironstone backing typical of boulder opal. The multi color surface appears almost painterly, with concentrated patches of color that change with movement and light, giving a lively and dynamic look that is ideal for a centerpiece in bespoke jewelry. This opal is opaque, unenhanced, and natural, with no enhancement and an origin documented as Australia, making it a trustworthy and durable choice for collectors and designers who value authenticity and bold color.

For setting and wear, the freeform tablet shape lends itself beautifully to a custom bezel or a modern minimalist mount that highlights the long, elegant profile, and the ironstone base of a boulder opal provides a stable foundation for secure settings. This piece works well as a statement pendant, an accent in a cocktail ring, or as a focal element in artisan jewelry, and its thickness and polish make it suitable for daily wear with normal precautions. As a specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company I recommend avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme heat, cleaning with a soft cloth and mild soap and warm water, and consulting a jeweler experienced with opal settings to preserve the surface and color.
