Opal Info — Andamooka RSS

Follow along on our opal gemstone hunting adventures as we chase down the allusive Australian opal. Driving all over the Aussie outback we travel to remote places like Lightning ridge, NSW in search of Black opal, Coober Pedy, SA,  where we mine for white opal, crystal opal, fire opal and opalised shells and fossils. Videos are constantly being uploaded on our Facebook and Instagram pages where you can ask us questions and comment.

Join us on this blog as we explore the opal fields of Andamooka.  Check out the unique types of opal found in this remote South Australian town.  Whilst Coober Pedy is the largest producer of white opal in Australia, Andamooka produces stunning black matrix opal, crystal opal, seam opal and white fire opal.  These different opals make gorgeous rings, pendants and earrings as well as specimen stones.
