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.
