GOLD Light Opal Jewellery

Light based opal is the best known type of opal. It varies from the common opaque white based opal to the rare and vibrant clear crystal opal. Crystal opal with several colours is extremely rare. Most of the light based opal in Mineshaft has come from our own mines at Mintabie Opal Field. This section contains rings, pendants and earrings, bracelets and brooches set in 18 ct gold and 14 ct gold from our current stock. Click on the image to see a full size picture.

Another view same Crystal Opal 18 ct gold pendant.

This is an exquisite opal......the best of multi coloured crystal! It was mined more than 30 years ago and has only recently been cut by Peter and given to the gold smith to set. The opal weighs 2.8 carats and is a multi coloured crystal opal. The pattern is even throughout the stone and is one of our nicest pendants. The picture understates the quality of the opal as the three dimentional aspect of the gem is impossible to capture. The price is A$6,000

This crystal opal is from the same pocket as the pendant above and also only recently cut and set. If anything it is a slightly brighter opal. It is a four colour crystal opal with a central rare turquoise flash overriding orange and yellow. The opal weighs 3.3 carats. To me this is the nicest crystal opal pendant of this value we have at present. The price is A$6,000
