October Opals Direct from Australia

Jewelry stores can be a great source of fine opal jewelry, but there are other ways to get your hands on unique specimens of October's Birthstone. Most of the world's opals come from Australia and many Australian sites offer rough and polished opals in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. We discovered a unique site that brings them all together in an auction style environment. Opal Auctions (www.opalauctions.com) offers a huge variety of opals and opal jewelry from a variety of sellers. When we visited we found some neat looking rough opals and small polished opals for as little as a couple of dollars. Of course you can also spend thousands on some stunning and colorful large opals.
