Opal Specimen

Specimen Opal – Lightning Ridge

Sourced directly from the legendary opal fields of Lightning Ridge, NSW, our opal specimens are natural, uncut pieces preserved for their formation, character, and visual impact.

Unlike cutting material, specimen stones are selected for their natural structure — showcasing colour bars, seams, fossilisation, host rock formations, or unique geological features exactly as they were formed underground. These pieces are ideal for collectors, display, investment, or those who appreciate opal in its raw and untouched state.

Each specimen is completely one-of-a-kind. Patterns, colour distribution, brightness, and structure will vary naturally. Some may display vivid green and blue flashes, while others may feature subtle colour within striking ironstone or matrix formations.

Photographs are taken under natural lighting; opal may shift in appearance 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.
