Opal capital of the world

The area is rich in natural wonders. It is known as the “opal capital of the world” because the area was blessed with an abundance of opals. Opals are valuable and iridescent gemstones that come in different colors and hues. The stones represent love and passion, justice, and harmony.

The opals are the main reason for the creation of the underground mining settlement. Coober Pedy has over 70 opal fiends in the area. It is the biggest opal mining area in the world.
