These multicolor natural mined Australian rough opal small stones / chips, were mined on the 23 Mile opal field of Coober Pedy Australia.

After 30 years in the opal business, we firmly believe opal can be the most beautiful gem on Earth, and we love the colourful characters and lifestyle of the outback opal fields. Here at World Class Opal we are privileged to do our best to acquaint the world with the colour, light and beauty that quality Australian opal has to offer.

Item Specifics:

WEIGHT: 217 carats (43.4 grams)

These are low yield pieces that should produce around 20-25 carats of small solids, inlay, intarsia, mosaics etc.

Use the ruler as your guide to size (IN INCHES) We do not sell opal simulants of ANY sort. All of our opal is 100% guaranteed Natural Australian Opal.

The color variations in some photos are due to different light angles and distances. All of our auctions are photographed with macro settings under a 60 watt incandescent lamp.  In all photo’s the opal is immersed in water.

Please check the dimensions carefully as the opal will not be as big in your hand as it looks on your monitor! Also some monitor settings will cause white based opal to look darker than it actually is. Please check the description carefully before bidding and view your purchased rough opal wet in sunlight or in a dark room with a direct light source ie: desk lamp, down light etc. (As photographed and practiced throughout the opal industry).
