What is Boulder Opal?
Boulder Opal, also called Pebble Opal, is native to the Queensland region of Australia discovered in the 1860s. It is found more precisely in the regions of southwest Queensland: Quilpie, Yowah, Eromanga. The sedimentary rocks of this region date from the Cretaceous period (-140 million to -65 million years BC). Most opals come from these very arid regions where, during periods of heavy rainfall, tiny particles of silica have been dissolved in water. When the water evaporated, these pieces of silica crystallized into small spheres in the parent rock and gave birth to opals.
Boulder opal occurs in the form of opal veins trapped in iron ore. It is generally cut so as to leave part of this ore around the opal veins. Its size is therefore quite delicate due to the hardness of iron ore compared to that of opal.
