THIS OPALS WAS MINED FROM AN OLD MINE THAT WAS CLOSED YEARS AGO. MY NEPHEW TOOK OUT THE PILLARS THAT WERE SUPPORTING THE ROOF OF THE MINE TO GET THIS OPAL. THE PILLARS ARE APPROXIMATELY 3 FOOT WIDE SO WHEN THE EARTH WAS TAKEN OUT IT MADE A BALLROOM UNDERGROUND. IT WAS A DANGEROUS AND RISKY JOB JUST TO GET THE OPALS. BUT THE QUALITY OF THE OPALS ARE GOOD, THEREFORE, WORTH THE RISK.

Opal Plus has a rich history that began in 1990 when it commenced selling Opals in Perth, Western Australia. Initially, the business was closely tied to the mining efforts of Paul, who was extracting Black Opal from Lightning Ridge, NSW. The rough Opal was transported to Perth, where Wayne co-ordinated the meticulous cutting, polishing, and eventual sale as finished stones. By 1992, Opal Plus transitioned its operations to the vibrant Gold Coast of Queensland, establishing an Opal cutting factory. Here, the team engaged in the intricate processes of rubbing, cutting, and polishing an impressive average of 120 Black Opals each day. With numerous partnerships and Opal mining ventures in place, Opal Plus secured a reliable source of Opal rough material to sustain its operations. Expanding its reach beyond Australia, Opal Plus began catering to the markets of New Zealand and participated in renowned events such as the Tuscon Gem Shows in America and gem shows in Japan. In 1995, the introduction of Estella's jewellery creations added a new dimension to the business, as Opal jewellery became an integral part of their offerings, enhancing the Opal sales experience for customers across Australia and beyond.

    Brilliantly polished solid black opal in elegant setting. Even more beautiful in person than in the photos! Communication with the seller was excellent, and I received my order in less than a week with international shipping. Highly recommend!

    It is gorgeous! Even more so than the pictures. I also appreciate the info the seller sent me and am looking forward to looking over it. It came on time and was well protected. I will definitely be doing business with them again.

    I love the rolling flashes this stone has, they range from red to fiery orange to deep green and a bit of the other rainbow spectrum. This will make an awesome statement piece!
