Yowah Nut Opal
|
Queensland is renown for boulder opal. Quilpie and Winton have the large boulder opal boulders, 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, 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 and 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.
