Millions of years ago, Coober Pedy was a salty inland sea where mussels and shellfish thrived. Today, their delicate shells have transformed into some of the world’s rarest treasures: fossilized opals.

On our latest dig, we uncovered a pocket full of these ancient wonders including the largest shell of our lifetime, a 330 carat specimen glowing purple and green. Alongside it, several 100 carat shells shimmer with rainbow fire, and one masterpiece shell displays colors across its entire surface.

Unearthed from Coober Pedy’s opal fields, this 58.48ct Solid Polished White Opal is a masterpiece of nature. Born from a massive 400ct rough, it showcases electrifying rainbow colors and rare patterns. A true collector’s gem, this opal is a once-in-a-lifetime find for those who seek extraordinary beauty.

Our recent trip to Coober Pedy was an unforgettable adventure into the world of opals and Australian history. We explored the town’s underground mines, met passionate miners, and handpicked the finest opals, ensuring top quality for our customers. Along the way, we discovered stunning opalized fossils, including belemnites, shellfish, gastropods, and even a juvenile plesiosaur tooth. We also visited the South Australia Museum, where we admired opals and learned about the rich history of the region. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring these rare and breathtaking treasures to our collection for you to enjoy.
