Australian Opal Buying Guide

Australianopaldirect14 Aug, 2022Business

We love the color range of Australian Opal Direct . It is a very special stone that can display any color in the spectrum. We appreciate all varieties and carefully select which stone will look best set into a given piece. The type of setting will determine the quality of the stone we use; lower grade opal for silver and good stuff for gold or platinum settings.Of this, 2% is boulder opal, which makes it the most prized and expensive. Opal is found in small deposits in several different US states; Idaho, Arizona and Nevada. Mexico produces a type of transparent opal often referred to as "fire" opal, which is a different grade of opaque stone without the play of color you see in Australian opal. We prefer Australian opal for its depth and unique appearance.
