Boulder Opal Pendant

Small bright blue fire Boulder Opal with Jasper and Smokey Quartz, also some green and red visible. Sterling lobster claw closure. 16 inches

Boulder Opals are cut from solid rock, usually ironstone or sandstone, but the precious opal gemstone is left connected to the rock and not cut away.

Boulder Opals are only truly found in Australia and there are many Aborigine legends associated with this magical gemstone. One tribe has it that Opals were created by the scales of the Rainbow Serpent which fell to the ground as he set about shaping the mountains, lakes and rivers of Earth. Another says fire was discovered when a pelican pecked at an Opal and yet another myth has the Rainbow Creator coming to Earth and Opals being forged where his foot touched the ground.

They are believed to bring good luck, clean aura and enhance inner beauty.
