{"product_id":"boulder-opal-belt-buckle","title":"Boulder Opal Belt Buckle","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA boulder opal this size, with this depth of color, is a rare find on its own. Boulder opal forms only in ironstone from a narrow band of deposits in Queensland, Australia, and unlike solid opal, most of what's mined comes in thin, fragile seams — a piece large enough to anchor a buckle, holding this much play of electric blue and violet against its natural brown ironstone host, is genuinely uncommon at any price point today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe ironstone backing is left exposed by design — it's part of the stone's structure, not a flaw, and it's what gives boulder opal its strength and durability compared to more fragile solid opal. Hand-set in sterling silver with a hand-textured, hammered border, mounted on an adjustable leather strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSterling Silver · Natural Boulder Opal · Leather Strap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA stone this size won't come around again.
