Welcome - In my store you will find Australian Koroit boulder opal - both rough and cut stones. I own the mine & do the mining. There is no "middle-man". Please let me know what you would like to see offered in my store! Thanks.
Hello, my name is Gene McDevitt. I own boulder opal mines in Koroit, Queensland, Australia.
At this time I have 3 opal mines. During the mining season of 2009 I expect to be adding a few more.
The only way for you to get opal more directly would be for you to go & dig it yourself!
I am an American, but I spend a total of about 4 months of the year in southwest Queensland, mining and cutting. I have been selling rough and cut opals on ebay, however most of my business is wholesaling cut opals to jewelers and gemstone wholesalers.
I really like these rocks & love cutting. I wish I could afford to give these beautiful rocks away, but I have many bills to pay. These gems are rare & can be expensive, however I try very hard to keep the prices fair.
Anything you buy from me is guaranteed to be exactly as I describe it, as well as genuine, natural and untreated.
I want all of my customers to be more than happy. Yes, I want your business. However, I want your business tomorrow & the next day too, not just today. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
I check my email frequently while I'm in the USA & about once a week or once every two weeks while I'm in Australia.
Here are some photos of my mine & opals I have mined & cut:
