Beautiful Shells !
Both are skin to skin shells. They are both beautiful cutting pieces and will yield well in each stone.

(1.) 0.628 oz Some of the face has come off in mining so that you can see the colour, that shell is $2,500.
Skin tight green shell ! $2500.00

(2.) 0.858 oz This shell is from the same field, "Zorba". It is still coated in the brown stain and whatever you can't see the colour very well. This one is just about a perfect piece and is one of about 14 shells in the parcel. I should be asking $6000, we have sold the other 12 and I would say that this shell is probably almost perfect, although the picture won't show that.

This Shell is only $3000.

From the most celebrated Olympic Field at Coober Pedy !!!
Our friend from the Olympic opal field has made another discovery, he has been finding opal on all levels. The bottom level is approximately 64 ft. and each 4 or 5 ft. towards the surface he has another three levels.

Along side the beautiful green/gold crystal was just over an ounce of tremendous reds, greens, with some blue - there was a total of 18 stones in this grade weighing between .0349 oz. and .21 oz. The stones can be bought for between only $105 and $363 each. They shouldn't last too long, and we are happy to sell them individually.

Some of the green crystal will make very very good inlay, and at only $96.50 per gram will be eagerly sought after by the professional inlay cutters.

From the bottom level we have three grades that we are going to offer to you on special:

1. White base reds and greens at only $140 per oz, that really is tremendous value, the stones are flat and can be cut easily.
Picture of the parcel.

2. Slightly smaller stones, about 15 to the ounce, a real cutters parcel at only $225 per oz.

3. From the same pocket there are large stones - the largest stone is 3.05 oz., and the smallest .145 oz. This grade is $325 per oz. Each stone will cut something very special.

From the top level, in a place where the miner never expected to find anything, the level dipped and there, as if it was placed in by an unknown hand, was a pocket of very very beautiful crystal green/gold stones, the smallest weighing only .057 oz. and the largest .583 oz. This grade is $3,000 per oz.

Here are some of the parcel tops.
This stone is 0.538 Ounces for $645.00
A beautiful unique stone ... 0.0985 Ounces

Incredible buy on two parcels of cut Andamooka treated matrix !
These stones are an absolute bargain for 2004. These stones were cut some 25 years ago and the parcel is not a lot more than cutting cost. You might say that people mine for up to 6 months and not find any Matrix at all. These stones would also make beautiful pendants, rings or something very special for a loved one. If these were black opals they would be 25 times the price. Please take advantage of it.

This parcel is 14 stones at $4 per carat totaling $908.00.
This parcel is 18 stones at $4 per carat totaling $892.00.
This parcel is 11 stones at $4 per carat totaling $788.00.

More Painted Ladies !
We have 14 Painted Ladies in stock. They range between $15 and $250 each, totalling $795. But as a parcel I would be prepared to sell them for only $575. This is an absolute bargain.

We have been mining in Andamooka for 10 months and we haven't found 1 Painted Lady. They are getting rarer and rarer and just about impossible to get. This is a buy of a lifetime.

This is the best one.

New Lightning Ridge Rubs
These rubs are specially nice at this price !

The tops are $250 each
These are $150 each
The lot for $100 !!

A Painted Painted Lady !
Andamooka produces a lot of Painted Ladies. A Painted Lady is a hard rock with a thin veneer of opal on it. They are not all suitable for jewellery, but they do find a number of uses. In this case, a local artist has painted a very nice picture of an Aborigine hunting a kangaroo, and utilizes the opal background as part of the art.

This beautiful piece weighs approximately 19 ounces, and is SOLD !

Very nice picture !

Andamooka Specimen Collection
7 Andamooka Specimens ranging from a small mud shell surrounded by opal with some distinctive markings to gem "Painted Lady" and very bright treating Matrix, the whole lot only $250. This parcel weighs a total of 4.5 oz and is probably less than the miners would be asking you for it on the field. One specimen is about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and has beautiful Blue Green at some depth. An Inlay cutter could actually cut this stone and make a beautiful ring from it but I think it is better as a specimen. The opal has formed around a conglomerant of rocks and has been sliced off and has just a magnificent panacea of colour. Below are some photographs of this wonderful collection at a very special price of $250.

Matrix and Lady.

Andamooka Tops for Inlay !!

It is probably some of the best Inlay mined at Andamooka & will make some Heart stopping pieces from this material. So don't delay let us know which stone you would like or maybe the whole mouth watering parcel.

This parcel has been out of the ground for 10 - 12 Years
Picture of the whole parcel.

More Nobbies !! Sorry, all gone ! That was a great bargain !
The miner says that most of these have not been rubbed !
There is a very good potential to come up with some stones that are worth $350 per carat. You only have to get one 1ct stone out of an ounce at $100 and you don't have to be a genius to work out the profit on that... There is one stone in there with more than 3oz of potch and colour that would have been worth at least $200 for the piece.
Picture of the $85/oz parcel

International Field !!
We have some very nice white and dark base material from International Field. Good size stones $100/oz

Andamooka Mine Run Special
We have 80 ounces available at only $6 per ounce. It is a bit unusual to get such a large parcel of this grade from Andamooka, as this field doesn't always produce big parcels. The picture that we have taken is not a super picture, but then they are not super stones. But this is a very good value and quite a few nice blue green ones are in there at a great price.
Buy the entire parcel, or lots of 10 ounces or more at only $6 per ounce.
