Opal Field Gems Mine and Museum to experience the romance of opal mining without having to leave the city. Downstairs is a meticulously re-created opal mine of the type found in Coober Pedy. The walls contain real opal and the picture is completed with tools and implements actually used in the mining of opal during the early 1970's. On the ground floor is a unique collection of opalised fossils on display as well as the desert jewels, the world's largest opal specimen. Friendly and helpful staff are on hand to assist with information on Australia's national gemstone in a number of different languages. A wide range of opals, gifts and souvenirs are on sale and tax free sales are also available to qualifying customers.
