Boulder opal is found in Queensland Australia. It is formed by opal seams in a host stone, usually ironstone. Thin veins of opal is formed when rain deposits silica in gaps of in the iron stone. The silica then is compressed and slowly becomes precious opal. This piece is a nice, relatively large boulder opal specimen which clearly shows how the opal formed.
