Boulder opals are the second most valuable type of opal (following black opal). Boulder opals are easily distinguished by their layer of solid brown ironstone left on the back of the stone. Boulder opals, as the name suggests, are mined from large ironstone boulders under the ground. Thin veins of colourful opal forms in cracks and fissures in these boulders. Because these veins of colour are so thin, opal cutters need to leave the ironstone on the back of the opal to form a full sized stone. The thin layer of opal in boulder opals can display any colour of the spectrum in a beautiful play of colour. Boulder opals usually have a flat surface or an undulating surface. Boulder opals are almost always cut in a freeform shape for this reason, to maximise the size of the stone. The colors of the boulder opal can be many such as black, green, blue, white, pink, yellow, purple, brown and red, etc. it is also called the “Opal with mother rock.” Most opal stones fracture their host order rock by forming themselves into the voids of the host rock. The contrast between the color opal stone and the host stone is striking. This rock is not a normal stone that can be just adored to look at. It is a talisman that has been cherished to shine hopes and dreams. Boulder opal has been said to create a better future for an individual using it. It can bring strong faith to a person and give them the power to achieve everything they ever dreamt of. It has also been believed that boulder opal can purify the heart of the owner of this gemstone. The meaning also includes the joy of life as it is filled with positive and mystical energies to drive you towards happiness. It is also said to be an evil eye slayer and to fight any evil coming to the owner. It is a great charm for a person who wants a good relationship.
