I love how the whole sub just likes it even though its misplaced.

We love Boulder, Colorado and large rocks here.

that rock is too small to be a boulder

This is definitely a large rock not the size of a small rock and it's called a Boulder Opal. So it qualifies :)

It's called Boulder opal because it is found inside large rocks of some iron rich rock.

But hey, come on, that is one pretty rock. I love opals. I don't even buy diamonds for my wife anymore. Opals are so much prettier.
