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.

A manufactured opal consisting of three layers. A paper-thin slice of solid natural transparent or translucent-coloured opal is glued to a dark backing of black glass, with a dome of clear quartz crystal glued onto the top. The crystal dome is to magnify and protect the opal. A triplet is less expensive than a doublet as less opal is used.
