8.35 Ct. Boulder Opal from Australia

This exquisite Boulder Opal from Australia is a translucent, multi color treasure weighing 8.35 carats, presented in a freeform shape that captures light beautifully, dimensions 24.68 by 8.01 by 3.96 millimeters, cut not applicable, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, color intensity intense, polish excellent, enhancement no enhancement. The top surface displays a lively play of color with vibrant flashes of red, green, and blue dancing across the opal field, set against the characteristic brown ironstone matrix that gives Boulder Opals their unique personality and structural stability. Because this piece is a freeform rectangle like cabochon, it offers an organic, artisanal look that works equally well as a focal point in a pendant, a statement ring, or a bespoke bracelet, the translucency allowing internal fire to show through while the natural matrix anchors the design in warm earthy tones.

At The Natural Gemstone Company we source and present such exceptional Australian Boulder Opals with full transparency about their attributes and condition, this gem being untreated and in its natural state makes it especially desirable for collectors and designers seeking authentic, unenhanced color. For settings we recommend a secure bezel to protect the edges and highlight the stone face, or a custom gallery mount to show both the play of color and the rich matrix, warm metals like yellow or rose gold complement the brown ironstone beautifully, while sterling or white gold gives a crisp, contemporary contrast. Care for this opal gently, avoid sudden temperature changes and harsh chemicals, clean with a soft cloth and mild warm water, store separately to prevent abrasion.
