We are absolutely thrilled with how this very special boulder opal turned out. It will be definitely kept as an opal specimen piece, worthy of any museum. It is from our Mt Margaret opal mine in western Queensland, Australia. In the next video we will try to pop off the piece on the very end… #suecooper #boulderopal #opal #sammanis @gjxtucson @pueblogemshow #tucsongemshow #rareminerals #australianopal #opalminer #opalmining #queenslandopal #brokenrivermining

Boulder opal 💎 is one of the most stunning and unique gemstones, prized for its vibrant play of colors that shimmer across its surface 🌈. Found mainly in Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺, it forms within ironstone boulders, where thin veins or patches of precious opal naturally occur. The contrast between the dark host rock and the brilliant flashes of color makes boulder opal especially striking. Each piece of boulder opal is one of a kind, displaying colors from deep blues and greens to fiery reds and oranges 🔥. Because the opal is still attached to its natural rock backing, it is more durable than other types of opal, making it ideal for jewelry like rings, pendants, and earrings 💍. Beyond beauty, opals have long been associated with creativity, inspiration, and emotional healing ✨. Boulder opal, in particular, is cherished not just as a gemstone but as a natural piece of art formed deep within the Earth 🌍. 👉 Like this content?

Back at the wheels today with Metallica cranking and fingers bleeding…nothing like a bit of red on the diamond wheels to remind you you’re alive 😅. Sitting in the quiet, I figured it was time to answer the questions that keep popping up at the shop: 1. Where’s all the opal online? Aussie opal is a soul stone…it chooses you. Cameras lie, filters are fake and the “magic” is hard to catch on a screen. We’ve pivoted to 1:1 showings because you need to see that fire in the flesh. 2. Still mining? 13 years on the same field we found and drilled. 100% yes. 3. Does the origin matter? Hell yes. I’ve seen our stones in Cartier and Van Cleef, but the story vanishes once it hits the big houses. To us, the story…the who, where, and how is everything. 4. The Drilling Rigs? The “Red Rocket” has been in pieces while we built the showroom, but this is the year for the Humpty-Dumpty rebuild. Wish us luck! 🚀 Dad sold the “Yella Terror” 5. The “Opal Hunters” TV thing? We did it, the vibe shifted, we moved on. Simple. It’s TV…truth, spin and drama. I’m grateful it put the spotlight on our national gem, but the real star is the Opal. (And yeah, I kept the “Opal Queen” name even if I was “Opal Diva” for 25 years first! 😂) 6. “Opal Seasons”? This still makes me giggle. “Seasons” are for hobbyists and Discovery TV. Real pro miners work year-round, weather permitting. It’s a quick way to go broke if you’ve got “all the gear and no idea,” but when you find her... hello chookie! 🌈🤩 Stay gritty.
