  The sculptures pictured are hand carved from Boulder Opal, a beautiful gemstone found only in Queensland Australia. It makes up only 1% of the worlds opal production and therefore is uniquely considered one of the world's rarest gemstones. Each piece of Boulder Opal is different and totally unique due to the many patterns hidden within. These patterns occurred during its formation, when the Opal, as pebble rock, filled cavities in the host rock. As is evident in the 4 pictures small variations in light sources can achieve dramatic changes to the hue of this incredible gemstone. The beautiful sculptured works of art below are each hand carved from a single solid piece of Boulder Opal. |

 Bowl Sculpture, Boulder OpalThis beautiful work of art is hand carved from a single solid piece of Australian boulder Opal. Michael Angelo believed that when he sculpted, he was only releasing an already existing image from within the marble stone. It appears that the artisan of this sculpture realized the same vision in the Boulder Opal stone, in the marvelous way he executed bringing the available opal to the surface of the bowl. As is evident with the many pictures of Boulder Opal items on this site, small variations in light sources can achieve dramatic changes to the hue of this incredible gemstone. It measures 10"L x 11"w x 4"h x 3"dp. |
