As a gemstone specialist at The Natural Gemstone Company, I am proud to present an exceptionally rare Boulder Opal that embodies the kind of beauty collectors seek and seldom find. This is an opaque 8.50 carat freeform shape multi color opal, presented with a tablet cut that gives it a flat, elegant profile ideal for bespoke jewelry designs. The tablet cut enhances the stone's play of color, while the freeform silhouette preserves the natural character of the specimen. Enhancement, no enhancement. Origin Australia. Every detail of this opal speaks to authenticity and unaltered natural origin, inviting connoisseurs to own a piece that is as genuine as it is arresting.
Examining the stone more closely, the dimensions are 21.10 x 10.80 x 5.00 mm, a size that balances presence and practicality for high end rings, pendants, or cufflinks. The polish is excellent, giving a silky surface that catches light and reveals the vivid color intensity within. The color display is multi chromatic, with deep flashes that move as the stone is tilted, a signature of truly fine Australian Boulder Opal. The matrix edge remains subtly visible, anchoring the vibrant opal color in its natural host rock and adding character that cannot be replicated by synthetic processes. As you hold the piece, the tablet cut maintains an even surface that showcases broad flashes and color patterns preferred by discerning designers.
Beyond its immediately visible charm, this Boulder Opal offers versatility and permanence that make it a smart choice for collectors and jewelry makers who prioritize both rarity and wearability. The freeform shape invites custom settings that celebrate the opal rather than constrain it, making each finished piece inherently one of a kind. The vivid color intensity and stable tablet profile mean the stone photographs beautifully and displays a confident personality on the wrist or at the throat of an elegant necklace. For those who appreciate stones with provenance, this opal comes directly from Australia, the source known for producing some of the most desirable Boulder Opals in the world.
