Stores > Queen Of Gems Store

Queen Of gems was founded around 2000 as and internet based information site and was bought by bob an accountant who was introduced to opals from his opal miners customers in his accounting practise.
Bob has passion for Opals and offers all opals now on his opal auctions store.
Most of his opals are boulder Opals and some crystal opals that were purchased from retired miner so some of these opals over 20 years old
Also some Mexican opals are included in his store but most are Australian opals.
Recently we added Ethiopian black wello opals to our collection as this opal is affordable and has good colour play
Gondar new opal fields in Ethiopia are in mountainous areas and not in flat terrain as in Australia.
Doublet opals are now also popular and especially the doublets made form opalized sea shells as these are cabochon and have bright colours and patterns
Late 2011 production from the opal mines at sheep yards in lightning Ridge have been low.
Most items more grey based than black and now it is starting to get very hot ,over 40 degrees or around 120 degrese F
Opal fields at winton are the same so opal production for rest 2011 will be slow.
Hoping for some good opal finds in Glengarry where we have share of opal mine.
This opal is more seam opal but is bright and has distinct patterns and makes good Opal jewelry .
