Queensland Boulder Opal Pendant in Sterling Silver – Signed NLC
Striking freeform Queensland boulder opal pendant in a handcrafted sterling silver bezel, signed “NLC” and stamped “Sterling.” The polished stone measures 52.28 x 32.45 x 7.37 mm and displays dramatic veins of vivid blue, green, and red iridescence running through rich brown ironstone matrix. Weighing 33.7 grams in total, the pendant measures 2.68 x 1.35 x 0.56 inches with a generously sized 12.90 mm bail. Boulder opals are prized for their unique patterns and play-of-color, and no two stones are ever alike.
Found only in Queensland, Australia, boulder opals are far rarer than black or white opals and valued for their natural strength and dramatic presence. Large stones of this scale—well over 100 carats—are seldom cut cleanly, making this example highly desirable. Its freeform pattern evokes a cosmic landscape, with flashes of color that shift beautifully in the light. A remarkable statement piece that bridges fine jewelry and natural history, offering collectors the chance to wear a true geological wonder.
