Skycharge - A boulder opal where purple‑blue colour moves like quiet electricity in the sky, lit with soft yellow sparks across its tribal‑patterned surface.
This large solid boulder opal cabochon features sweeping seams of purple and blue across the full stone, accented by soft yellow pinfire.
The polished low‑dome oval shape shows colour on all sides, with a striking tribal‑style matrix pattern running through the opal.
The flat back makes it ideal for custom jewellery, bezel settings or wire‑wrapping, while the 38 × 16 × 4 mm size gives it real presence.
With brightness 4, the colour play is lively and noticeable, shifting beautifully as the stone moves.
A miner‑direct cabochon perfect for makers and collectors who love bold natural patterns.
