The BEST opal shop in Melbourne. It is always such a delight visiting Lightning Ridge Opal Mines as the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Happy to spend as much time with you as you need, easy going and relaxed. No pressure with sales, just good customer service. The Opals are genuine and unique, well made into jewellery and prices are very reasonable. Thank you to all the wonderful staff for a memorable time.

Very warm and friendly greeting from the staff. I feel so relaxing going here and spend time to see as much opal as I want and there is no pressure with sales or anything. They even have a "mini" class about opals for guests, so impressive. The experience here is so different from other stores that I have been to. Opals here have a very reasonable price as they come directly from their mines. 100% will come here again.
