Mintabie, once a thriving opal field in remote South Australia, is known for producing rough opal with a unique character — often featuring light to medium body tone, strong transparency, and vivid internal colour. Although mining ceased many years ago, Mintabie opal rough remains highly sought after for its cutting potential and rarity.
This collection features authentic Mintabie opal rough, including material with visible colour bars, potch and colour combinations, and occasional crystal characteristics. Each piece is sourced from reliable Australian suppliers and selected for its natural beauty and promise.
Whether you're a cutter looking for quality rough or a collector of historic Australian material, these pieces offer a genuine connection to a now-closed and increasingly rare field.
