The boulder opal (precious opal)

Boulder opal is often referred to as “picture opal” or “matrix opal” and has the most magnificent play of colors of all opals. The Yowah Opal (Yowah Nut) is a variety of boulder opal.
"The Boulder Opal comes from the Queensland region of Australia. More specifically, the Boulder Opal is found in southwest Queensland in Quilpie, Yowah and Eromanga.
The sedimentary rocks in this region date back to the Cretaceous period. The rock therefore comes from a period that began around 145 million years ago at the end of the Jurassic period and ended around 66 million years ago at the beginning of the Paleogene. Over the course of time - well into the Tertiary period - weathering processes released silica from the marine mud with its microorganisms, which was deposited in the water-impermeable rock crevices and cracks. The constant change of moisture and subsequent evaporation ultimately led to the solidification of the silica and thus the beautiful opal."

Even in ancient times, opals were considered very valuable gemstones. According to tradition, gods created these gemstones and gave people a part of each stone. Opal was described by Pliny the Elder as follows: “It has the delicate fire of the carbuncle, the brilliant purple of the amethyst, the magnificent sea-green of the emerald, the golden yellow of the topaz, the deep blue of the sapphire, so that all the colors are wonderful Opinions shine together”.

In Greek mythology, the tears of Zeus are held captive, which he is said to have cried after defeating the Titans.

In India, opal has always been considered a lucky charm.

Its name most likely comes from the ancient Indian Sanskrit. Here it was called “upala” for “gemstone”. In ancient Greece it was called “opallios” and in ancient Rome “opalus”.
