Opal Specimens

Opal Specimens

The National Opal Collection visits all of the opal fields of inland Australia and sometimes we find pieces best suited to remaining as an opal specimen. Whether it be a black opal specimen from Lightning Ridge, a light opal specimen from South Australia, a boulder opal specimen from Queensland or a boulder matrix opal specimen from Yowah or Koroit, you can marvel at how opal formed and be captivated by its extroverted display of colour. Whether it be a mineral specimen, collectors piece, opalised fossil, desk ornament or a gift for someone who has everything, every opal specimen will be unique.
