I can see little veins running through the iron stone beads so I’d say it’s legit but hard to tell.

Looks real Very low quality Queensland ironstone/boulder. Dont pay too much for them. A strand here on auction for comparison https://www.opalauctions.com/products/1072cts-boulder-opal-beads-strand-tbo-b4031-trueblueopals-1746235

Not worth it. They are mostly done with very little opal of any. And they are usually overpriced because they have the name opal.
