Buy Tintenbar Opal


Discover the rare Tintenbar opals directly from the volcanic region of NSW, Australia. Situated in a small, hilly area near Tintenbar, just a few hours south of Brisbane, this opal field has a rich but challenging history. First discovered in 1901, mining didn't commence until 1919 due to the difficulties presented by the volcanic rock. Today, only 1-2 miners sporadically work this area, making Tintenbar opals exceptionally scarce. Early lots of opals were deemed unstable, prompting miners to store them in water for years, subjecting them to extreme seasonal variations to test their stability. Only those that passed this rigorous test are available on Opalauctions. Tintenbar opals are classified as volcanic opals, showcasing dark jelly opal with subtle rolling flashes rather than intense fire. These opals have gained popularity among men for their deep, attractive colors, particularly in white or silver rings. Mines are now located on private property, with farmers reluctant to grant access due to potential damage caused by excavation. Some miners have created stable doublets from their rough, ensuring stability over multiple seasons before offering them for sale. Consider adding a volcanic Tintenbar opal from Australia to your collection for its rarity and unique characteristics.
