6.07 Ct. Boulder Opal from Australia

I am pleased to present a truly special gem from The Natural Gemstone Company, a translucent 6.07 carat Boulder Opal cut into a pleasing freeform shape, with dimensions of 13.21 x 11.47 x 5.77 mm. The cut is not applicable in the traditional sense because this piece follows the natural lines and color zones of the host material, which preserves the best play of color and yields a unique silhouette for creative jewelry design. Clarity is graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, so the surface and body present clearly without visible inclusions to the naked eye, and the polish is excellent, giving the stone a lively, satiny sheen. Color intensity is intense, and the opal displays an engaging multicolor spectrum that shifts and dances across the surface as the light changes, a hallmark of high quality Australian Boulder Opal. No enhancement has been performed on this opal, and its origin is Australia, which is renowned for producing some of the finest and most stable opals in the world.

Visually this Boulder Opal is captivating, it shows broad flashes of fiery red and orange that blend into flashes of green and blue, with softer pastel flashes and a translucent body tone that allows color to appear from within the stone. The freeform shape was chosen to maximize these color areas and to showcase a natural balance between play of color and the stone s body, making it perfect for designers who want a one of a kind focal gem. The thin profile at 5.77 mm offers versatility for settings, it can be set flush into a bezel for a modern understated look, or mounted in a custom prong or partial bezel design that leaves the lower edge visible to reveal the rich boulder ironstone matrix if desired. This piece will perform beautifully as a ring center, a pendant, or a statement pair of asymmetrical pieces, and because it is eye clean and intensely colored it will read vividly even in modestly lit environments.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we value transparency and thoughtful curation, this Boulder Opal is a fine example of why provenance matters. Australian origin, no enhancements, and an excellent polish combine to give you a durable and collectible gem that will remain visually rewarding for years with sensible care. Opal care is straightforward, avoid abrupt temperature changes and harsh chemicals, remove the gem for heavy chores and avoid ultrasonic cleaners, wipe gently with a soft cloth to maintain the polish and the play of color, and consider professional inspections if the piece is set in delicate metal work. If you would like assistance with setting suggestions, custom design ideas, or shipping options, I am happy to advise and to provide additional photographs or viewing under different light sources so you can see the full range of color this stone offers. Owning an Australian Boulder Opal like this one is owning a natural work of art, and it would be my pleasure to help you bring this exceptional gem from The Natural Gemstone Company into your collection.
