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.

Lighting Ridge Opals is a fantastic shopping experience, starting with the interesting history of Opal mining in the family which own and run the shop. The opals are beautiful and settings interesting and quality. Most of all when you had a problem as I did the after sales services is above and beyond. Highly recommend.
