Have you seen the gemstone in which patches and seams of opal are present that are surrounded by natural host rock? Well, this particular stone is known as Boulder Opal. Also known as “Natural Opal Type 2,” jewelers use an inventive cutting style where the small patches and seams are cut with the host rock. The reason why they do not cut only solid opal areas (by isolating them) is because the opal areas are too small to cut. In this blog, we are going to talk about Boulder Opal rings, where we will explain the colors and patterns that you should look for in a Boulder Opal ring, and we will also understand why these rings command higher value. So, let us begin by first going into the specifics of this gemstone.
