      Typical mines in the Winton / Opalton region are open cut, with heavy machinery / bobcats and excavators often used to cut away at the harsh desert landscape. When a promising area of colored ironstone is discovered, manual labour by hand is often commenced with pick axes. Discovered opal is then sliced by machine, cut and polished into finished pieces like what we sell on our website.
