Australian Opal October Birthstone

Australia is renowned for its opal production, with approximately 95% of the world's precious opals sourced from its fields. The opal fields of Australia are located in the harsh outback, where miners often live underground to escape the intense heat and dust. The most famous opal area is Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, known for its black opal, which is considered the rarest and most valuable type of opal. Other notable opal locations in Australia include Mintabie, Andamooka, and Coober Pedy in South Australia, where white opal and boulder opal are mined, respectively. The opal industry in Australia has been revolutionized by the discovery of these deposits in the 1800s, making Australia the leading source of opals globally.
