Visit the opal fields from your armchair, or learn about Australian opal from the people who know it best. Interested in the black opal town of Lightning Ridge? - we have several books for you!

For anyone interested in lapidary or in opal, we have a great book-and-video package that teaches opal cutting, showing plenty about opal mining and Lightning Ridge along the way. (While you're at it, why not ask us about a parcel of opal rubs to practice on?)

Books by authors from the opal fields provide a comprehensive background on the opal industry, and give colourful insights into the lifestyles of opal miners. Informative writing combines with great photography for a thorough guide to Australian opal.
