Insane Australian Boulder Opal with wide band. Hand fabricated in sterling sterling with a cool rustic texture on the ring band. Stamped dawn 925 under setting. Very special and rare stone! Stone is cut by artist and friend @davidforsheejewelry in Newberg, Oregon.
Care: Opals overall are a sensitive and porous stone. While Boulder Opals are more robust compared to Ethiopian opals, being 5.5-6.5 MOHS , they still require care to ensure they stay beautiful. This kind is sensitive to extreme temperatures, chemicals, and physical shock. They can crack or dehydrate from sudden temperature changes and are susceptible to scratches from everyday bumps. Avoid harsh cleaners and chemicals, and store them gently in a soft cloth or jewelry box. While solid boulder opals (This is solid!) are not as prone to absorbing water as some other types, it's still best to avoid prolonged immersion and soaps, so taking off while showering would help keep her beautiful.
