Description :

A diverse collection of natural boulder opal rough specimens, presented in two clear containers for preservation. The larger glass jar (approx. 4.25 inches tall) contains substantial matrix pieces submerged in water to maintain moisture and prevent cracking — a standard method for storing opal rough. The stones display brilliant flashes of blue, green, and turquoise color running through ironstone matrix.

The smaller glass vial (approx. 3.5 inches tall) holds several cut fragments and smaller chunks, each showing distinct veins and patches of vivid play-of-color. These pieces are ideal for collectors, lapidary artists, or study samples.

Highlights:

  • Natural boulder opal rough specimens (origin unspecified)

  • Includes both large and small matrix pieces

  • Rich play-of-color: blue, green, and turquoise hues visible

  • Stored in water to maintain hydration and prevent surface cracking

  • Suitable for display, collection, or cutting practice
