Lightning Ridge Fossilised Yabbie Button

Fossil Opal Parcels – Lightning Ridge

Sourced directly from the legendary opal fields of Lightning Ridge, NSW, these fossil parcels contain natural opalised material formed millions of years ago.

Each parcel may include opalised shell, bone, wood, or other fossilised organic structures that have been naturally replaced or infused with precious opal over time. Some pieces may show visible colour bars, flashes of green or blue, while others may reveal their full potential once cleaned or cut.

Fossil opal is highly sought after by collectors, cutters, and enthusiasts due to its rarity and unmistakable natural formation. Every parcel is completely unique — no two lots are ever the same.

All material is sold in its natural state and may contain ironstone, host rock, or matrix. Photographs are taken under natural lighting; opal colour can shift depending on light source and viewing angle.

Authenticity & Presentation

Each opal is entirely natural and one of a kind. Photography is conducted under professional lighting to capture the stone’s fire and colour as accurately as possible. Due to lighting environments, movement and individual screen settings, subtle variations may appear in person.

 Opal is a living gemstone — its appearance evolves with angle, light source and intensity. This dynamic nature is part of its beauty and value.
