BOULDER MATRIX ROUGH 

This is a natural boulder matrix from Opalton Queensland Australia.

This material has precious opal embedded in the ironstone and usually is easy to get a top polish on. You can cut stones from it make beads or do some interesting sculptures or carvings

We have taken a photo of the stone wet.

Some times the blue can turn white in colour.

As with all rough there is a gamble in cutting-we have cut some stunning stones with this material which are listed in our sister store BOULDER MAGIC under matrix. We also have had some disappointments and sometimes great surprises with a rough that looks like it wont cut. Some of this material near the surface has fine fractures in it and when you cut it it will break apart.

WE TUMBLE THIS MATERIAL TO BREAK UP ANY FRACTURES.

Some cutters soak it in resin to stop this. I suggest you look at in when dry before cutting so if you are not pleased you can return it.

As with all our stock if you aren’t pleased you may return it for a refund provided it hasn’t been touched in any way.

We have more rough in our sister site SEDA ROUGH OPALS but you can only combine here with shipping [sorry not set up to work between stores
