We've conveyed through photos and story our view of the marvelous world of opals. We have rough opals, finished opals, opal books and videos and unique opal jewelry, custom designed and fabricated by myself. I am an admitted opalholic and consider myself blessed to be able to work with this magnificent stone and share it with others. Not only do we have one of the largest selections of rough opal on the Internet, but we also provide opal-cutting and opal-carving tips, a gallery section with photographs from our buying trips and an annual travelogue trip report for those who want to follow along in our adventures to Australia and Ethiopia.

And for those who would like training in the art of opal-cutting and carving we also teach a 16 hour class in our home studio. Our "About US" section will give you a bit more information about us and our opal obsession. Thanks for stopping by!!
