We are Tim and Barbara Thomas -- opal specialists since 1972.

We started this alternative business while working full time at other jobs. Barbara has since retired. We have a huge stock of opal, rough and finished, beads, etc. We pride ourselves in giving the best value, price, service and individual attention.

Use the menu to the left to navigate our site. We hope you learn more about opals, and us!

The Frequently Asked Questions page is a great place to start ... just click on FAQ, read the most common questions we've heard over our 30 years in the business, and get the answers!

Opals are fascinating gems, and we think that opal novices as well as opalholics like us will find this site useful.

Thank you for your interest. Come visit often for changes and specials.

All the Best, Mate!
