About Mintabie Opals

The Mintabie opal fields consistently produce good opals, as do the nearby Lambina opal fields.

In 1976, large earth-moving equipment was bought in to work the opal fields. Bulldozers, Bobcats, and vacuum hoists replaced wheelbarrow mines.

This area of South Australia produces good crystal opal with unique fire and colour contrasts. These crystal opals also make beautiful triplets. Opalised fossils are also found in this area.
