Queensland Boulder Opal 

Boulder Opal is produced in far western Queensland in some of the harshest conditions known. It is a location that not many people ever get to visit and experience. The graziers and miners who live in this region are people with a special grit and determination not afraid of adversity and remoteness. They love this region and the special beauty it has. The below images are our way of sharing some of the beauty of this region and this land.

This article gives some interesting history about Boulder Opal and its possible formation attributes. And another article is a Quick Guide to Opals and helps explain what causes the "Play of Colour".

The Queensland Boulder Opal Association has produced this information pamphlet about Boulder Opal
