New South Wales, Australia

Overview
This offers a unique opportunity to polish genuine Australian opal, an experience not found elsewhere. The opal you leave with might be worth more than the cost of the workshop, potentially even hundreds of dollars.
- 💎 Polishing an opal reveals its true value, which can only be determined after the polishing process.
- 🍀 Participants receive guidance to help select their parcel of opals wisely.
- 📈 Opal's value is increasing as demand rises and some opal fields are closing down.
- ⏳ This workshop presents a rare chance that may not be available in the future.

The workshop starts with a short talk about opals - where they're found, how they're created, how to see if a stone holds any precious opal - which will help when it comes time for you to choose your own parcel of opals. We have examples to look at and handle so that you are knowledgeable about which parcel of opals are valuable and have potential. Then you get to choose a parcel of three opals per person, ranging in size from 6 - 12ct. We then learn how to polish them to a high shine and release the gorgeous fire within the stones, which takes approximately two hours for all three stones. Once the stones are finished, the opals are placed in a small display case for you to take home or, alternatively, they can be set in a piece of jewellery either on site or by your own jeweller back home.
