This crystal boulder opal from Queensland shows soft pastel green fire drifting across its translucent surface. Gentle flashes of aqua and turquoise mix with touches of blue, creating a dreamy color play that changes as you turn the stone. The high dome shape catches light beautifully, letting it pass through the opal and bring out that natural inner glow crystal opals are loved for.

Measuring 9.5 x 7.5 x 5 mm and weighing 2.2 carats, this teardrop opal has a pleasing weight and presence in the hand. The rounded dome gives it dimension and helps the pastel colors really come alive, which makes it work well for pendants or rings where you want something eye catching without being too bold. It would look lovely in custom jewelry settings with sterling silver for everyday pieces, or you could dress it up with gold for something more polished.

This is a natural solid opal, completely untreated, with its original ironstone backing intact for stability. It's not a doublet or triplet, just genuine Queensland crystal boulder opal the way it formed in the ground. The soft translucent quality and gentle colors are what make these opals so appealing for people who prefer something subtle over bright, dramatic fire. The dome cut adds a nice three dimensional quality that really shows off the stone's character.

As the official opal October birthstone, this stone carries meaning around hope and creativity. The calming green tones and graceful teardrop shape give it a peaceful, grounded feeling that works for daily wear or as a thoughtful gift. For anyone looking for authentic Australian opal with soft color and that distinctive domed shape, this crystal boulder offers solid quality at an approachable price.

This crystal boulder opal will arrive securely packaged in an Opal Galaxy luxury gift box, ready for professional jewelry setting or safe storage.
