Koroit Opal Stones

Koroit opals are a breathtaking variety of Boulder Opal, renowned for their intricate ironstone matrix filled with stunning veins of precious opal. These stones come from the famous Koroit opal field in Queensland, Australia, an area known for producing some of the most mesmerizing opals in the world. The interplay of earthy brown ironstone and vibrant flashes of color creates a one-of-a-kind gemstone that is both durable and visually captivating.

Koroit opals often feature unique swirling patterns of opal interwoven with their ironstone host, making every piece a natural artwork. Unlike traditional solid opals, Koroit opals retain their natural host rock, providing extra strength and durability while enhancing the contrast of the opal’s color play.
