Opal Legends
Opal is the stone of hope and is believed to raise the "consciousness" of the wearer. The ancient Greeks and Romans (including Emperor Mark Anthony) held opal in the highest of regard and it was much sought after for its beneficial qualities and incredible play of colours. It is believed to be the tears of the rainbow serpent in some Australian Aboriginal cultures. The Arabs believed it was created when lightning strikes the ground. It was said to cure eye disease protect against poisons and to ward off the evil eye. I believe it to be the most beautiful of all gemstones with the red of the best ruby the greens and blues of the best sapphires and emeralds combined in patterns never seen in other gemstones and it has the "purity of colour" rarely matched in nature. Black opals are the rarest and most beautiful of all the opals and the very best are found on and around the opal fields of Lightning Ridge, Australia

  

Black Opal - Gallery 1

The opals represented in the top quality gems categories all come from one fabulous "patch" of black opals mined two years ago in Lightning Ridge, Australia. It is with great pleasure that I get to show them to the world. Some of which have never been seen before by anyone other than the miners who found them. This is a great privilege for all opal and gemstone lovers everywhere. These top gem opals are at miners wholesale prices and can be delivered personally where possible. The opals can not be all shown at the one time so I look forward to being able to show you more in the future! More pictures of each opal are available. There are many opals from this "Patch" that are not yet onsite. These opals are all investment quality and the photographs are certainly not better than the opals.
