EXPLORE OUR QUEENSLAND OPAL AND BOULDER OPAL JEWELLERY COLLECTION

Opal has been mined across Australia since the late 1800s, with Queensland the world's only location where beautiful boulder opal is found. The main areas in Queensland where boulder opal is sourced are Winton, Opalton, Yowah, Jundah, and Quilpie, located in the state's west. Queensland opal is unique in that it is usually attached to the ironstone host rock. Boulder opal is prized for its bright colours and has grown in popularity over the past few years as one of the most sought after types of Australian opals to set into opal earrings, opal rings, opal necklaces and opal bracelets.
