Lightning Ridge, located in outback NSW on the world's richest deposit of black opal, is a place that abounds with colorful characters, barrels of dreams, opportunities and experiences!

Famous for the elusive and distinctive Black Opal, which is unique to the area, it is also famous as a thriving frontier town full of the iconic Australian characters that remind the traveler that the Australian spirit is not a thing of folklore; but the exact qualities that makes the 'Ridge' so unique is as elusive as the Black Opal itself.

Gems of Nirvana brings you beautiful, Australian (lightning Ridge) opal rubs.  Rubs are opal pieces with the surface ground off to reveal color inside. Buying rubs gives more predictability to the yield but enables cutters to shape and finish stones to their requirements.  These opals can be priced in the $100's if bought in local Australian shops.

Pictures take with opals under water to show true light refractions - guaranteed awesome fire! 

Ready to sand and polish or used as is in your own creation.

Enjoy.
