Description
Koroit Boulder Opal, Gold BraceletStones: Koroit boulder opal cabochon
Metal: 14k gold
Gross Weight: 34.90 grams
Dimensions: 7-1/2 inches x 7/8 inch
Condition Report*:
Colored Gems:
Type(s): Koroit Boulder Opal
Shape(s): Cabochon
Count: 1 - 25
Avg Quality: Fine
Metals:
Gold
Overall Condition: Good
Condition Notes: This men's bracelet features a striking 14k gold setting with a Koroit opal cabochon at its center, measuring 41.35 x 21.00 x 6.35 mm. Both Koroit and typical boulder opals come from sedimentary rocks, but Koroit opals are particularly notable for their vivid and interspersed play of color, which stands out dramatically against the dark ironstone matrix. This unique pattern, reminiscent of a web of opal veins, is less common in other boulder opals, making the Koroit variety exceptionally eye-catching and worthy of their own classification.
