Buy Australian Boulder Opal Rough
Boulder opal forms within ironstone from Queensland opal fields. The natural host rock is part of the material, and seams or patches of precious opal can follow irregular lines through each piece of rough.
Assess Opal in the Ironstone
Look for the position, brightness and continuity of visible colour within the ironstone. Photographs of every face can help you understand the material’s shape and thickness, while video may reveal flashes that a single still image cannot capture.
Plan an Individual Cut
Boulder opal rough often calls for freeform cutting that follows the natural colour and matrix. Check weight, dimensions and the seller’s notes carefully, then allow for the ironstone and any natural features when deciding whether a piece suits your project.
