Boulder opals form when silica-rich water seeps into ironstone cracks and cavities, solidifying over time into vibrant seams. This variety, mined in Queensland, Australia, is among the most stable types of opal due to its natural host rock backing. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, reflecting the land’s geological dance of pressure, minerals, and time.
