This groundbreaking occasion brings together live opal mining and a simultaneous auction of any rough opal discovered during the event. 

 

Taking place on August 2, Unearthing Opal Live will be a thrilling 3.5-hour live stream from an opal mine in Coober Pedy, the renowned Opal Capital Of The World.


As an opal enthusiast and or a collector from anywhere around the globe, you will witness a world-first as Unearthing Opal Live combines the captivating elements of real-time opal mining with the excitement of a live auction.

 

This unique event will allow you to watch the mining process unfold before your eyes, ask Dan or Renee any questions you have about the process, and then bid on the gems as they are unearthed.

This will be an unparalleled opportunity to acquire opals with genuine provenance.

The live stream will take you deep into our opal mine in Coober Pedy, in outback South Australia, a location steeped in opal mining heritage and renowned for producing exquisite gemstones.

 

From the comfort of your home, you'll experience the thrill of opal mining, just as if you were standing alongside Dan and Renee themselves. 

 

Every sweep of the black light looking for opal in the darkness, and every moment of anticipation will be captured and shared in real time.

 

While online auctions for opals are not uncommon, Unearthing Opal Live takes this experience to an entirely new level.

  

This will be the first time opal enthusiasts have been able to not only witness opal mining in real time but also be able to immediately take part in a live auction to bid on the gems freshly discovered from the mine. 

 

This will be the closest thing to experiencing real mining because you'll share the anticipation that accompanies prospecting; will we find any, or won't we?​

Dan says Unearthing Opal Live will allow him to combine his family's opal mining heritage with cutting-edge technology to provide an immersive and authentic experience that we'll hope you'll join in.
