Yowah nuts are found in the opal fields of Yowah in central Queensland.

As the name suggests the opal is formed naturally like a nut.

Some opal miners say they crack open thousand nuts and if they lucky a few might have colour, but to find gem colour is very rare and many opal collectors should have one in their collection.
