We visit the Australian Opal Centre in Lightning Ridge and explore opal from around the world, including opal from Mexico, Brazil, Peru, Honduras, the United States of America, Canada, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Tanzania and Turkey.

Special thanks to Jenni Brammall at the Australian Opal Centre.

This is NOT an exhaustive look at all of the opal the world has to offer, there are many more locations that produce opal, and we'll visit opal from those countries in the future. Stay tuned, click the subscribe button, and we'll fill in the blanks in the future!

These examples were chosen from a selection of specimens; they don't necessarily represent the "best of the best" of each opal category. They're all beautiful, though!

The Wikipedia page for Opal includes information about opal from many of the locations referenced in this video: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opal
