BOULDER OPAL SLAB
A rare rough Queensland Boulder Opal Slab. You never get unworked pieces like this for sale, so this really is a gem in the rough. Features ethereal streaks of green, purple, blue and pink on a white background, wrapped in its sandstone host rock. Two photos are taken against the sun to show transparency. Being unpolished it was dang near impossible to photograph the colour streaks in this piece, in any light. I’ve done my best but it does look so much better in person. Polished up of course it will look absolutely stunning. A great project for the lapidary or opal enthusiast or jeweller. A super piece!
