Joseph polishing an Australian opal by hand — Rocks On The Rocks, Sydney

Thirty years
at the Australian opal fields.

Black opal from Lightning Ridge and Grawin, boulder opal from the Queensland fields — Quilpie, Yowah, Winton — and white and crystal opal from Coober Pedy and Mintabie. Alongside the opals, Australian gemstones, mineral specimens and hand-carved spheres: zebra rock, mookite, rhodonite, agate and more, plus rare stones from around the world.

Every stone is hand-picked by Joseph and either kept loose or set in sterling silver or 18K gold at his Sydney workshop, one at a time. No two stones are ever the same.

A private viewing is one stone at a time, in natural light, with the person who cut and set it. Every piece ships or travels with full stone documentation and is backed by my 30-year personal guarantee.
