Australian Opal

Posted by Australian Opal Direct on 10th Oct 2022

Australian Opal, often revered as a "water stone," forms gradually beneath the Earth's surface over millions of years. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this precious gem is believed to offer health benefits and healing properties. Similar to the flowing waters of a river, Australian Opal is thought to bring balance, smoothness, and clarity to one's life, creating a unique connection between the gem and its wearer.

In addition to its purported healing qualities, Opal is associated with fostering creativity and enhancing feelings of love and romance. The opal's diverse colors and patterns symbolize the harmonious interplay of different elements in life, encouraging artistic expression and deeper emotional connections. This multifaceted aspect contributes to the opal's allure, extending its significance beyond mere visual beauty.

Australia hosts three main types of Opal, each with its unique extraction techniques. White Australian Opals from Coober Pedy are extracted with methods tailored to local geological conditions. Black Australian Opals from Lightning Ridge, known for vibrant colors, require specific extraction techniques adapted to challenging terrains. Australian Boulder Opals from Queensland, showcasing stunning formations, demand specialized methods to preserve their integrity. This geographical diversity adds to the opal's mystique, making it a symbol of Australia's rich natural treasures.

For over 40 years, the team behind Australian Opal Direct has been a trusted leader in the Opal industry; wholesaling, exporting, and retailing 100% Genuine Australian Opal. But our roots run deeper beginning in the 1960s with Black Opal mining in Lightning Ridge. In the 1970s, we expanded operations to a quarry in Papua New Guinea, before returning to Australia in the early 1980s to pursue gold mining. By the mid-1980s, our focus shifted to mining Boulder Opal in Opalton while retailing at the iconic Kuranda Markets. Our first retail store was later opened near the Opal fields in Winton, Queensland in 2010.

From those early mining days to our current global footprint, we’ve built long-standing partnerships across the entire supply chain, from miners and cutters to master jewellers. By eliminating the middleman, we deliver premium-quality Australian Opals at below retail prices directly to our customers.
