Opal By Mario’s Director, Mario Ikasovic, has specialised in opal gemstones for over 40 years and carries out all his own cutting from his Sydney-based workshop.

Mario attends the key trade jewellery shows in Hong Kong and Tucson, in the US, where he enjoys selling to a diverse spectrum of dealers, retailers, jewellers and collectors.

He is very familiar with Australia’s key opal mining regions having lived and worked in both Lightning Ridge and Coober Pedy.
Chasing colour at his cutting wheel and the complex valuing process of opal are highlights of his work day. His inventory comprises an extensive range of all types of black, boulder and crystal opal, which he sources directly from Australia’s top opal mining operators.
