WHO ARE WE?
We are a family business located in Australia. We are opal miners and opal cutters. Most of the Australian opals that you will see in this eBay Store are cut and polished by us. We mine underground at Yowah during the Australian winter months and spend the balance of the year cutting our opals.
The photo on the left shows us in our opal mine at Yowah. That's Liz, lurking in the background. The underground mining is done by hand using a jackhammer. All of our opals are individually cut by hand on diamond faced grinding wheels.
When we aren't mining or cutting we are travelling the opal fields looking for more rough opal.
If you are coming to Australia please come and see us. We welcome visitors whether we are at our opal mine or we are at our house on the coast (about two hours drive south from Brisbane) cutting opals.
We don't have a "brick and mortar" shop, but you can browse through our opals or just come in for a "cuppa" and talk opals with a couple of fellow opal addicts, or even try your hand at cutting an opal in our workshop. |
