100% natural Australian boulder opal beads from Queensland, Australia.

These smooth round beads are deep chocolate brown ironstone with honey and golden swirls, and some beads hold flashes of opal in their cracks. Boulder opal forms when silica-rich water fills cracks in ironstone boulders in Queensland, so the opal is cut together with its dark brown host rock. In metaphysical belief, opal is associated with creativity and hope.
