Take a look at these stunning opal specimens in our display cabinet! ✨

Every rockhound and jewellery lover has that one gemstone they are naturally drawn to. Maybe it’s the mesmerising bands of a crazy lace agate, the deep, moody tones of a smoky quartz, or the fiery flash of an Australian opal.

We want to know: What is your absolute favourite stone, and what makes it so appealing to you? Is it the colour, the way it cuts, or the energy it gives off?

If you love admiring beautiful stones as much as we do, you will be in your happy place at our Annual Gem & Craft Show THIS SATURDAY! We will have displays showcasing a massive variety of gems, rough material, and finished jewellery to explore.
