Description
This beautiful matrix boulder opal is like a painting of nature, where vibrant and intense colors blend harmoniously within the dark background of the surrounding ironstone. The color palette ranges from intense deep blue and emerald green to the rare yellows and gold flashes. The colors seem to be in constant motion, depending on how the light hits the stone. It is like seeing a rainbow captured in a thin layer of crystal, full of life and energy.
The stone itself is interwoven with the rough character of the earth, formed from ironstone in which the opal has been deposited in thin, delicate veins. This creates an intriguing contrast: the hard, dark base of the ironstone is crossed by luminous opal, like lightning bolts captured in rock.

What makes this boulder opal truly enchanting is the play of color hidden within. It is as if the stone has captured the energy of the earth and is releasing it through light and color. Each fragment of the stone can show a different play: from deep indigo, reminiscent of the night sky, to vibrant red and orange, like a sunset that never ends. These colors carry a vibrant, mystical energy that resonates deeply.
Wearing boulder opal is spiritually seen as a powerful way to enhance balance, creativity and self-expression. It is said to enhance your intuitive abilities . That's another bonus.
Care
Care for your opal as you would like to be cared for!
Australian opals retain their color and brilliance even when exposed to heat, changes in climate, moisture, or water. These opals are resistant to mild chemicals like dish soap and hand soap, but contact with harsher substances like bleach or ammonia should be avoided.
Opals have a hardness of approximately 5.5 to 6.5 on the Mohs scale. This means they are relatively soft compared to other gemstones like diamonds (which have a hardness of 10) or sapphires (with a hardness of 9). While opals are not extremely fragile, they are susceptible to scratching, cracking, and breaking when exposed to hard impacts or sharp objects. Therefore, it's important to handle opal jewelry with care, especially rings that are more susceptible to impact.
When exercising or performing physical work, it is advisable to remove your ring or other opal jewelry to prevent damage.
