Did you know?

Australia produces over 96% of the world's Opals; all of our Opals are sourced from mines in South Australia, New South Wales and Queensland.

Cut & Polish

At Lightning Ridge Opal Mines, we cut about 90% of the solid opal ourselves. We specialise in the cutting & polishing of the opal and we have specific local jewellers make the settings.

Formed over 100 million years ago, the Australian Opal captures the essence of natural beauty.

With over 40 years experience in the Opal industry, Lightning Ridge Opal Mines brings you the finest Opal shopping in the world.
