Maybe they will be no custom jeweler at the Australian opal centre, but if not the new centre will increase your awareness about this gemstone, increasing your awareness about mining and tourism education, the centre is being built towards the northern side of my mine, the 3 mile is the largest open cut mine in the world where in modern times over the last 50 years men like big Bill Williams that open cut the Scots clam witch is either the riches or second riches mine every, Graham remember back filling the very eastern part of this very rich claim as Bill’s wife wanted it refilled as we all had government mining contracts that we had to rehabilitate our open cuts to the natural condition prior mining in the old days. The location is not far from the ramp that I’d built in the open cut mine on the North west side that was next to the Scots claim, I have never seen such a blow it reached from the second level to the surface of the claim and was half the width of a cricket pitch. Terry the wrecker Barclay and Lance have opened cut which was known as lunatic Hill in their time today its recognized as the only heritage listed opal mining area in Australia.
3 Mile open cut mine where today I am the only producer, claim holder alive that found a deposit of gems in recent years.
I hope the collection of 110-million-year-old fossils from the time of early cretaceous do not dwarf the stories of the legends and pioneers that will be on display in the museum because I personally knew the Barclays brothers will and I can vouch for their honesty and hard working endeavors, along with their generosity to the town as I was the last man to work with these guys before they retired. Because of these type of men today in Australia we have opal mining towns at Lightning Ridge, Coober Pedi,White Cliffs an indigenous names Andamooka and Mintabie,many more which helps to keep the outback.

Custom jeweler specializing in opal gemstones.
Custom jeweler opal specialist reason why Australian black opal are the best quality for custom jewelry is because out of all the deposits around the world ,Australian stones are the oldest formed deposits-time is on its side, Australia is possibly the oldest landmass in the world it has taken about 100 million years of evolution to make such a rare and unique gem.
About 100 million years ago a vast sea saltwater ocean covered about 70% of inland Australia what today is known as a semi-arid region which is sparsely colonized by large gum ( or Eucalyptus trees ) with much more dense under cover vegetation including species of trees like wattle trees (or Acacias), there is farming mostly wheat and cotton sheep and cattle grazing, the native animal consist of kangaroos many bird species with a 1.7 m bird that cannot fly, where during the evolution of this gemstone millions of years ago the animals that lived on the banks of the inland sea were giant reptiles crocodiles where dinosaurs roamed above these deposits of gemstone today. Other industries and activity is mostly related to open cut mining black coal and steel in the North.
The centre of the country is a extreme dry arid red desert resembling the planet Mars, today some scientist are claiming that this planet could have deposits of precious opals also. The centre of Australia is without any vegetation during the long dry season only a few snakes and small reptiles and when the wet season comes there is little plant life with virtually no vegetation in parts, this region extends as far as from the south of the country to northern Australia. This area alone dwarfs the country’s which make up Britain. The history of making such a gemstone it all started when the sea retreated from what is to day Australia’s red centre increased acidity releasing silica. As time when by making lower acidity helped to make precious opal ,the silica trickled down the poorest sand stone down the fault and rocky crevices then traveling along the fault lines through the clay and deposited at different depths.
The deposits have been formed by a natural organic aging process that has cured the gemstone slowly and this is why Australian opal stones are the best investment out of all the opal types around the world. The British pioneers first brought these opals to the surface about 100 years ago, prior this there was stories passed down and told by the elders the old men to the next generation of indigenous hunters and collectors nomads that roamed near some of today opal regions, tails about a dazzling multicolor fire stone that came to earth from heaven on a rainbow.

The evolution of the colors over many millions of years the first colors appear the purples which is the most plentiful and then many more millions of years blue and if the host clay had the correct minerals to help the chemistry process to procedure these colors made underground in their natural organic labs, as time went by the colors merge into multicolored orange greens which is not as plentiful as blue hence more expensive, again as long as the correct mingle compositions and percentages were available around the silica magnificent colors appear, then many more million years when and the rarest of all the colors red is formed again with time the red multicolored will involve and this is why the red is the most expensive like rare antiques.
The many wonderful and amazing patterns that are only seen in Australian opals are also a process of the mixture of natural organic minerals along with the aging affects of millions of years and if you have the combination of pattern such as harlequin with predominantly red multicolor solid jet black backing gem with a five out of five fire that dazzles in all lights that can be cut and polished into a high dome cabochon stone then you are looking at a one-of-a-kind gemstone unlike diamonds and rubies there are millions one carat stones with the same facet cut either A B C grade but all identical cut by a machine likely not custom jeweler.
