Coober Pedy, located in the South Australian outback, is world-renowned for producing the vast majority of the planet's precious white and fire opals. Coober Pedy fire opals are celebrated for their soft, milky-white to translucent body tones and dazzling internal dispersion, which casts vibrant flashes of red, orange, and green.

These opals are highly valuable and the most sought

Colour Play: Unlike dark opals (e.g., from Lightning Ridge), these gemstones typically feature soft, translucent, or milky white/gray backgrounds. This light base allows fiery electric reds, brilliant greens, and blues to shine through with exceptional brightness.

flagstone pattern fire opals can exceed AUD $1,200+ per carat.
