Natural Rough Australian Boulder Opal 14.72g Loose Gemstone

Individual pieces of Boulder Opal can vary considerably in their colour, pattern, amount of Opal and ironstone matrix, ensuring that every specimen has its own character.
Weighing 14.72g, this is a substantial piece of natural Australian Opal material that may also be of interest to lapidaries and jewellery makers. Depending on the characteristics of the individual specimen, it could potentially be cut, shaped or polished into a cabochon or other finished gemstone.
