Boulder opal is found in Australia where precious opal forms in veins and patches within brown ironstone boulders. When the opal is mixed through the ironstones it is called matrix opal. Hardness ranges between 5.5 and 6 on the Moh’s scale. Boulder opal is very durable due to the ironstones the opal form in. Because content within the opal is very low it never cracks or crazes as it ages. Yowah & Koroit opal fields have the smaller boulder opals known as Yowah Nut Opals. The opals of Yowah and Koroit have a unique look, with stunning picture patterns of potch, opal and ironstone, not to mention the Yowah Koroit opal nuts with a beautiful crystal opal center. Boulder opal is second to none when you have the brilliant colors over the dark ironstone boulder. Brilliant reds, blues and greens dance and sparkle when moved. Boulder opal can be just as valuable and beautiful as a black opal from Lightning Ridge opal field. METAPHYSICAL PROPERTIES Aids inner beauty, faithfulness, and helps recall past lives. Opal is quartz, consisting of colloidal silica and large amounts of water. Opal is the crystal of the New Age, assisting us to adapt to the Earth changes and allowing inner balance to take place. It lightens the aura so that dramatic earth changes can be accepted into being, without causing undue physical or emotional stress, giving acceptance of that which cannot be seen. Connecting to the Higher Self and opening to the wisdom of the Ancient Ones. Because opal is watery and translucent it works with the emotions, but will bring up deep emotional states to be faced and loved. If the wearer is able to control the mind and focus their attention, opal will develop this aspect of their mind. Otherwise opal can be unsettling for wearers.
