We are a French husband and wife team, mining and cutting opal in Australia, involved in the Australian opal industry for over 30 years.
We operate our own opal mines at Opalton, 125 km South West of Winton, the World Capital of Boulder Opal, in the Queensland Outback, Australia.
You are dealing directly with the source. There is no middleman. Our prices are opal field prices.
We offer a personal and friendly service and we ship worldwide.
We mine during the Australian Autumn and winter, usually from mid - April to the end of August, when the outside temperature is mild ( temperature
can go up to 48º C (120º F ) in the shade and more than 65º C ( 154º F ) in the sun, in summer in Outback Queensland).
When we are not mining, we process our opal in our workshop at home, on the coast in Cardwell, in tropical North Queensland, and Jacky also
manages this site, for 7 years now. All of this keep us real busy.
Our opals and opal jewelry are beautiful.
A Certificate of Origin and Authenticity will be supplied, free of charge, on request with every purchase.
We are the one-stop-shopping website for Australian opals and opal jewelry
We gladly answer every inquiry promptly, and every order is dispatched within 48 hours
Our opal mines and mining camp
with all machineries and equipment are for sale. ( VIDEO )
