Who buys boulder opal parcels
Jewelers are the primary buyers. A parcel provides a consistent supply of material from one field or color family, making it easier to produce a coordinated collection of pieces.
Collectors also buy parcels to build holdings of specific material. Queensland’s opal fields are a finite resource and material from individual fields does not get replenished.
What a parcel listing includes
Each parcel listing specifies total carat weight, number of stones, and field of origin. Photos show the actual parcel being sold, not representative stock images.
