Many crystal Opals mined in the Andamooka Opal fields have stunning colors and are popular for creative Opal carvings due to their large size. This field was discovered in 1930 but was not worked fully until the 1960s where just under 1000 miners worked in the dry desert heat. Most miners were small manual operations digging down 10 meters or so following veins of opal. There was no large scale mining operations.

Famous Andamooka Fossil Dinosaurs

In 1968 a opalaized plesiosaur bone was found by opal miners and was called Addyman Plesiosaur and was sold to the South Australian museum as a new species. Also a single small opalaized bone of a small coelurosaur dinosaur was discovered near Andamooka, but only one bone was discovered and palaeontologists estimate it was probably only 2-3 meters in length.
