About Boulder Opal
Boulder Opal is the second most prized form of opal, after black opal. The name derives from the fact that boulder opal is found embedded in ironstone boulders. The opal usually forms as thin veins within these boulders, and most stones are cut to include some of the host ironstone matrix. Boulder opal is sometimes referred to as opal in matrix for this reason. Boulder opal is especially attractive because, like the black opal, it has a dark body tone which adds vibrancy to the play of color. Boulder opal also has a higher density because of the ironstone content, and can be more durable as well.

A true treasure chest of high quality gems to choose from, many of which cannot be easily found anywhere else. I was thrilled with my order when it arrived - the stones were beautiful!My package had temporarily got lost in the mail by the USPS and when I reported this online to GemSelect they immediately responded with an email offering me a choice of three very generous offers of compensation. Very impressive! Thank you, GemSelect!

I asked them not to ship until Jan. 25th, 2013, as I am leaving the country. I'll have more info upon receiving the merchandise, but all in all the transaction went smoothly. Michael Radke
