Yowah Opals

Yowah Opals, from Yowah, Australia, are famous for their deep, strong ironstone with fantastic patterns and inclusions of colour.

Yowah Opal fields are mostly worked by hand instead of large machinery. While a few open-cut mines have recently opened for large-scale mining, many Yowah Nut Opals are still found by fossicking. Yowah Nut Opals have particularly breath-taking inclusions of color, making them highly sought-after by opal collectors. The Yowah Opal festival, held mid-July, features a jewelry competition to showcase these beloved opals.
