Some info on Boulder Opal;
Boulder opal is easily distinguished by its solid brown ironstone matrix. The ironstone is very dark and it enhances play of color, much like potch on the backside of black opal. Boulder opal's thin layer of precious opal is easily identified by its amorphous crystal structure and distinct optical features.
Boulder opal forms on ironstone boulders in Queensland. This type of opal is often cut with the ironstone left on the back, as the opal seam is usually quite thin. Leaving the ironstone on the back means that boulder opal can be very dark and beautiful in color. The opal forms within the cavities of the boulders in both vertical and horizontal cracks. Boulders vary in shape and size, from as small as a pea, to as big as a family car. Boulder Opal has a tendency to cleave; when cleaved the "split" leaves two faces of opal, with a naturally polished face.
Boulder Opal has a pure energy, clears and strengthens the aura. Boulder Opal provides clarity and purity of thought, un-cluttering a muddled and confused mind. Boulder Opal calms and centres, used in meditation can facilitate counsel with guides.
Boulder Opal can help to reveal the inner truth of ones aspirations, ambitions and desires.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop and take a look. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
Have Fun, Good Luck, and Happy Bidding!

*This really is a Stunning one and so I started the bid a bit higher. I have some pretty pricey materials in it and want it to go to a good home that needs it.
