About Australian Opal Gems

Australia is the most important source for fine opal gemstones. Australian opals include black opal, boulder opal, crystal opal, fire opal and white opal. Famous opal deposits in New South Wales are at Lightning Ridge and White Cliffs, in South Australia, and also at Coober Pedy and Andamooka. Other opal deposits are also found in Queensland. Australia is the main source of the world's finest and largest supply of precious opal, including the rarest and most valuable Australian black opal. The best black opal is thought to come from Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. Australian opal is known for its incredible play of color and excellent stability. Opal gemstones make wonderfully unique and interesting jewelry. In 1993, Australia declared opal its national gemstone. Some of the finest and largest Australian opals ever seen include the multicolored precious opal gem called the Virgin Rainbow, from Coober Pedy, Big Ben, which was found in Lightning Ridge, the Light of the World and the Andamooka Desert Flame.

I purchased several green chrome tourmaline loose stones from GemSelect Twice over the last 2 years. Those stones made my wife' wedding ring, necklace and earings. Created by the goldsmith at Maus jewelers. . . Masterpieces of God's creation and mans creativity to the glory of God's love! they couldn't have done it without starting here first! FANTASTIC!!!

I just learned and purchased a “citrine” crystal is hat I found out was a baked amethyst but it can be sold as citrine but it’s not. So I was looking for genuine Brazilian citrine and it brought me to this site, had a ton of selections in various cuts which was impressive and that it comes certified. Which is amazing.
