A Glimpse into the History of Opals
Opals have been steeped in myths and stories across cultures for centuries. From being considered the physical embodiment of a rainbow goddess to symbolizing all virtues with their multicolored brilliance, opals have captured imaginations worldwide.
Australia boasts some of the finest-quality opals, earning the gem its title as the national stone. The opal industry flourished in the mid-19th century, beginning in NSW and spreading across the country. By 2008, Australian opal production contributed over $46 million annually, supporting local communities and solidifying its importance in the global jewellery market. Known to Aboriginal people as “fire in the desert,” opals remain a symbol of Australia’s natural beauty.
