This Boulder Opal from The Natural Gemstone Company is a standout choice for collectors and designers who know the difference between treated stones and truly natural material. This specimen is an opaque, multi color opal weighing 8.60 carat, cut in a freeform tablet shape with dimensions 14.40 by 12.10 by 4.70 mm, and it displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. Unlike common doublets, triplets, or resin filled pieces often marketed as bargain alternatives, this Australian Boulder Opal is natural and untreated, no enhancement, so the color play and depth you see are inherent to the stone. The tablet cut maximizes the surface flash, and the freeform shape preserves more of the original opal matrix than stricter symmetrical cuts, resulting in richer color zoning and organic character that mass produced stones lack. Compared to other market options, this opal offers a superior combination of carat weight and visual impact, making it ideal for a statement ring or a bespoke pendant where color saturation and natural texture matter.
When you choose this piece from The Natural Gemstone Company you are selecting a responsibly sourced Australian opal with clear documentation of origin and no enhancements, which immediately elevates its resale value compared with heat treated or dyed alternatives. Our finishing standards ensure the tablet cut and excellent polish are jewelry ready, so you save on additional cutting and risk of losing color or weight, a common hidden cost with lower grade rough. The intense blues and flashes of green in this multi color opal are rare in similarly sized stones, and the freeform silhouette gives designers flexibility to set the stone creatively while maintaining secure settings thanks to the stable boulder matrix. For buyers who prioritize natural beauty, investment integrity, and unmatched color play, this Boulder Opal delivers superior value and uniqueness compared with standard market offerings, and The Natural Gemstone Company stands behind its quality and provenance for your confidence.
