All the finished opal items that I offer for sale are from my own material.

Prices are based on research, many years of experience selling wholesale and retail, and what I consider competitive in the on-line marketplace.

I do not on-sell any stones/gems purchased from other sources.

The photographs I have included form a integral part of the description and were taken by a Samsung S10 mobile phone in daylight or under a desklamp.

Please bear in mind that precious opal looks different in every different lighting condition and at every angle as the colours play across the surface.

NOTE: There are many good sites on the internet that offer valuable information about precious opal and its unique qualities.

If you are new to the 'Opal Buying' experience in any form  I suggest you seek some of this advice.
