Boulder Opal Rough Slice from Budgerigar Mine, QLD. Beautiful, natural patterns of banding with veins of flashing blues and turquoise with great fire. Photographed wet and dry.
BOULDER OPAL Called so because of the large iron ore boulders or nodules that water and silica have poured into over thousands of years to produce opal. Found only in Queensland, it is mostly mined using large excavators, and only 1 in 50 boulders normally produce gem opal (opal with nice fire). Most of our opal comes from Budgerigar mine near Blackhall (far western Queensland). It is mined by Adam’s friend Avon and his family, where Adam picked up most of his new stock in 2015. Australian Boulder opals are the second most valuable type of opal (following black opal). Boulder opals, as the name suggests, are mined from large ironstone boulders under the ground. Thin veins of colourful opal forms in cracks and fissures in these boulders. The thin layer of opal in boulder opals can display any colour of the spectrum in a beautiful play of colour, in this case rich blue, turquoise and translucent yellows are visible, all with great fire.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
