The Queen of Gems from Lightning Ridge - New South Wales "Black" Opal

Explore the allure of New South Wales "black" opals, sourced from the legendary Lightning Ridge and surrounding fields of Grawin, Sheepwash and Glengarry. These gems show a play of colour like no other. The black background accents the colour bands of each individual opal.  While they are called "black" opal they can be electric blue, green, multi coloured, and white but are known as "black" opals because of the distinctive host rock.

The Magical display that is Boulder Opal - from the Queensland outback

To find these captivating beauties you must travel hundreds of kilometres from the nearest inhabited centre. Intriguing in their patterns and colours, typically the opal is so deep within the host rock that they are left in partnership to be set as jewellery that is so distinctive and earthy. Some are clearly stone with flashes of colour and some are more obviously opal with the host rock. Explore the intricacy that is Queensland boulder opal.

Timeless Purity from Coober Pedy - South Australian "White" Opal

Perhaps the best known in the opal world is the Coober Pedy white. Here the host rock allows the opal to form as almost pure white with radiant flashes of every colour of the rainbow.  Classic and elegant and yet as with Lightning Ridge black, there is a wide colour band available from the Coober Pedy and Andamooka fields of South Australia.

 

Nature's Rainbow. Enchanting Crystal Opal - from New South Wales

So beautifully deceptive, crystal opal is translucent if you hold it up to the sun.  You can see straight through it. But when it sits at 90 degrees to the sun in jewellery of any kind, you find the most amazing array of colour. So pure because there is no host stone to rely on for play of colour.  Enjoy our collection of crystal opal.

 

From the Harshest Lands on Earth, Come the Most Exquisite Gems

Our tagline speaks to the spirit of Exquisite Opals Australia. We travel to these harsh lands during Australia's winter, to source rough gems to cut shape and polish and then present to you.  Each gem is a testament to the miracle of nature, that such beauty can be created from such basic elements.  Whether you want to purchase an opal or just want to browse we hope you enjoy our collection. Come back regularly because our selection will constantly change.

We have opals in different price ranges.  Some ready to set as jewellery, some in the rough for lapidary enthusiasts, some more suitable for collectors and just a few jewellery pieces added so you might get an idea of how opal can look in the modern settings of today.
