Gem by Gem Assoc.

"All of Nature's splendour seems to be reflected in the manifold opulence of fine Opals: fire and lightnings, all the colours of the rainbow and the soft shine of far seas. Australia is the classical country of origin. Almost ninety-five per cent of all fine opals come from the dry and remote outback deserts."

Janes Australia Homepage

The following is an extract courtesy of Janes Australia Homepage with regard to the aboriginal opal mythology of Opals:-

"Opals, like other minerals, have a spiritual value in that they represent a part, such as an organ, a Dreaming ancestor left behind as a sign of his or her presence at a particular spot. Certain minerals and stones are imbued with the powerful energy of the ancestor. The Adnyamathanha elders relate two stories about opals.
The first is about a young boy who was chasing a kangaroo. he caught it at Minipa with his wooden club, then sat down to have a meal. While he ate, he stuck his club in the ground so that it stood up. the club turned into opal stone. This story refers to the vertical or oblique planes of rock in which opal is found, one end of which is on or near the surface.

The second story is about Marnbi the bronze-winged pigeon, who threw a firestick high into the air. It landed near Cooper Pidy, an important opal mining area. When it came down and hit the ground sparks flew off in all directions. These became opals."
