Ever wonder what hundreds of thousands of dollars of Australian opal rough looks like?

This is one small part of a fresh Coober Pedy parcel — and every single piece is going into a No Reserve auction.

Some will become jewellery. Some will be someone's first finished gemstone. Some won't look like much... until you cut them open.

Every auction starts at the same price. Whatever the market decides, that's what they sell for.

All auctions finish before 5 August. Pick your favourites, set your maximum bids, and let the auctions do the rest.

G'day — the Lightning Ridge opal festival is nearly here, so I've put more than 1,300 no-reserve auctions up in the shop to clear the shelves and help fund the buying trip. No reserve means the crowd sets the price, not me. Rough for cutters, cut stones for jewellers, all graded so you know what you're getting before you bid.

They're closing soon, sorted by whatever ends first — have a dig:

Find one you like, place a bid, and see what happens.
