BOULDER OPAL is precious opal with matrix (mother rock). Opal has no crystalline structure, it occurs in nodules or as vein filling. It consists of hydrated silica gel and usually contains 4-9% water, but can also reach up to 20%. All opals are sensitive to acids. The stone has a colorful, shimmering, fascinating play of colors, the so-called "opalizing". The colors appear differently depending on the light source. The name comes from the Latin "opalus" for "precious stone". The first opal rocks were found in Australia in 1849. Even today, it is one of the most expensive and popular gemstones in good quality. Opal is traditionally given away on the 14th wedding anniversary (ivory wedding).
