Yowah Koroit Boulder and Australian Opals

Queensland is renown for boulder opal. Quilpie and Winton have the large boulder opal formations, while Yowah & Koroit opal fields have the smaller boulder opals known as Yowah Nut Opals. The opals of Yowah and Koroit have a unique look, found no where else in the world with stunning picture patterns of potch, opal and ironstone, not to mention the Yowah Koroit opal nuts with a beautiful crystal opal centre. Boulder opal is second to none when you have the brilliant colours over the dark ironstone boulder. Brilliant reds, blues & greens dance and sparkle when when moved. Boulder opal can be just as valuable and beautiful as a black opal from Lightning Ridge opal field. Yowah having the smaller boulder opals can still be hand mined in the traditional way of sinking a shaft and mining with jackhammer or pick.
