Rare Boulder Opal Silver Pendant
This boulder opal shows off the wonderful spectrum of colors opals can have. the opal itself has a blue/purple hue to start and has gorgeous streaks of rainbows that go across it. IT’s mounted in a sterling silver setting which is hung from a 20in chain.
Boulder opal is a unique and captivating gemstone, primarily composed of silica (SiO2) with water content that can vary between 3% to 21%. This opal is found in ironstone boulders, mainly in Australia, and is historically significant as it has been used by Indigenous Australians for thousands of years, both for ornamentation and as a part of cultural rituals. In jewelry, boulder opal is prized for its vibrant play-of-color, which creates stunning visual effects and makes each piece distinctly unique. To care for boulder opal jewelry, it's essential to keep it away from harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures, as these can damage the stone. Regular cleaning should be done with a soft, damp cloth to maintain its brilliance without scratching the surface.
Jewelry and gemstones do not always look like what’s on your screen. Different screen resolutions and pixelization may skew the colors of certain stones and metals. This is especially true for stones like opals, fire agate, and labradorite. Although we make the best attempt to show off the product exactly as it is in person, technology doesn’t always allow this.
