Great quick reference for Opals 13 Dec 1997

By A Customer

Format:Hardcover

The book gives a good overall insight into how opals are formed, types of opals, where they are mined, how they are mined and many stories surrounding opals and opal miners. It was informative and entertaining. Would have liked to have seen a little more information that would clue you into how to select and price black opals.

All the facts and more... 19 Jun 2003

By Cybamuse - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This slim little book taught me more about opals than rummaging around in the opal stores and book stores of Sydney ever did... Fred and Charlotte have managed to add lots of juicy information about opals - how they are made, history, cutting, what makes them special etc and present it in a very easy to read manner. A great book to give anyone an indepth knowledge of opals!

Fantastic Book 20 April 2001

By Bob Cook - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This is the most informative and fun to read book on opals ever published. As a collector and opal dealer, I highly recommend this book to learn about the opal history of Australia with lots of great stories!
