G’Day
I am as excited about these gems today as when I started working with them over 15 years ago. My name is Andrew, and my fascination with opals started back in 1992. Since then I have been involved with cutting, crafting and selling these ‘little Aussie beauties’ and the years have seen me work for several multi national companies.
Personally, I have only ever mined opal for fun, as a hobby, with friends and associates who own and work leases in western Queensland and Lightning Ridge areas. These products for sale here are directly from them, the hard workers in the field.
Should you ever feel that the product you receive is not what you expect please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. You will receive a reply within 48 hours from me or a representative from my opal family to discuss any concerns and your prompt replacement.
Best of luck with your opal endeavors!
Andrew
