Description
J. Aragon Boulder Opal, Diamond, Gold ComponentStones: Boulder opal cabochon; full-cut diamonds weighing a total of approximately 1.60 carats
Metal: 18k gold
Marked: J. Aragon
Gross Weight: 26.10 grams
Dimensions: 1-3/4 inches x 1-5/16 inches
Condition Report*:
Diamonds:
Avg Color: G-H-I
Avg Clarity: VS
Shape(s): Full-Cut
Colored Gems:
Type(s): Boulder Opal
Shape(s): Cabochon
Count: 1 - 25
Avg Quality: Good
Metals:
Gold
Overall Condition: Very Good
Condition Notes: Boulder opal typically forms as thin veins within ironstone, revealed when the host rock is split during mining. The opal-bearing sections are carefully cut to preserve vibrant opal layers while retaining the ironstone matrix for stability and contrast. Large, high-quality specimens are rare, as veins seldom contain enough material to produce a cabochon as substantial as this 28.65 x 21.05 x 13.10 mm example. Currently lacking functional components, this piece could easily be transformed into an elegant and wearable piece of jewelry with the addition of a bale or pinstem and catch.
