The Andamooka Opal is a famous type of opal, discovered in the historic opal mining town of Andamooka, South Australia. An Andamooka Opal was presented to Queen Elizabeth II on the occasion of her first visit to Australia in the 1950s.
Beautiful fire-crystal opal is found in the White Dam Opal Mine. Many of the crystal opals mined in the Andamooka opal fields have stunning colours and are made into creative opal carvings. Matrix opal is also popular, which is sandstone cooked in sulphuric acid and sugar.
