About Boulder Opal
Boulder Opal originates in Australia with many other Opals and is the second rarest type of Opal produced. Boulder Opal is minded at a much lower percentage than the percentage of Black Opal by a 6% variance. This stone is a naturally occurring Matrix that embeds itself in large boulders of ironstone. The iron matrix enhances the Boulder Opal making it more durable and the intensity of its color.
