Some Opal is worth waiting until you’re ready for it 👀

One of our overseas customers sent us this video after finally starting on some higher grade Black Nobby Rough they purchased from us a while ago.

They’d held onto it while building their cutting experience. Now they’re into it, and hearing their excitement is a pleasure.

But there’s an inclusion to work around.

Would you slice it with the aim of creating two stones for a set, keep it whole and accept the inclusion, or chase the inclusion deeper and risk the whole stone?

What would you do? 👇

Saved another turtle, and this one was a biggun! 🐢

We help a few of these across the road every year. Always worth a stop.

The turtle’s shell or my socks and slides. Who’s got more style? 😂

Pop your travel pics below. Let’s see where you’ve been 👇

A closer look behind the scenes 👀

Some of our fossils in the CT scanner today, as we continue exploring the remarkable material in our collection.

Look inside the machine. You can see the fossil turning as the image changes on screen.

There’s plenty happening at Opal Hub Australia. We look forward to sharing more with you.

Could this be a million dollar pillar? 👀

Opal Intelligence

You’re 70 feet underground in Lightning Ridge. You’ve found gem grade Opal, the colour keeps going, but following it means more time, supplies and work to keep the ground supported.

Do you commit, or leave it for another day?
